    Let us know when you bump into BillyG and if you see John Corzine tell him you know me...

    The quality of the video is impressive: this is clearly usable. Thanks for sharing.

    The link to your Qik page is bad :(

    D -- I think I fixed that. Sorry about that.

    Are you trialing the new QiK application? I'm trying to get my paws on it, but can't find anyone for the hookups. Supposedly it gives you even better quality (640x480 over hsdpa, 320x240 over umts).

    Hi Robert,

    Can you elaborate how you managed to see the comments while streaming? I assume you used a second phone to access your comment via web/ email access.

    Anyway, nice work!

    Now what someone needs to develop a RIA which allows you to edit online streams from sources such as Quik and YouTube into a summary news program... kind of like a Adobe Visual Communicator meets FinalCut.

    Anyone know if something like this exists? Hm... if not might have to build one myself and launch my very own web 3.0 business.

    The interviews have been great! When do you think you will be live tomorrow?

    Are you getting business cards from the people you interview, would be great for your rolodex?

    Robert, the BBC gent said:
    "Oh - there's still one drawback: The phone's battery allows for about 25 minutes of video streaming. Still, it was very impressive."

    How many extra batteries did you bring, or is it a quick recharge?

    Who knew, Robert, when you were driving around in a car hour after hour with the founder of qik beta testing this real-time film over internet technology that a few weeks later you would be at Davos interviewing these few where the elite meat meets meat! I never would have guessed it. Now I see why you were so taken with this camera work. This is great.

    what a weird name for a book yet its live

    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1434831310

    just visit it and buy it - and ask davos what they think of it

    one sample - and lastly to bill gates -you were the best i knew- for you made fun of me in your retirement parody -this not many know for you were the best

    the book is not even remotely connected to technology

    bye
    arun balaji
    very soon @runb@laj! will be no longer a word or my logo -its days are numbered as a logo-zho sad

    Conference-ambush shaky cams, self-adoring the self-promoing narcissistic boring -- whiplash headaches, fuzzy video and distorted-peaking audio, no extra charge.

    As heady-fake vacant as Davos is itself...
  • Robert Scoble · 1 year ago
    The comments show up on my cell phone's screen on top of the video. I don't need a second phone to see it.

    I have six batteries and four cell phones (two lent to me by Qik and one from Reuters).

    They'd better move the forum outside and get more 'grassroots'. Otherwise, they'd miss out on the real action. Great coverage, Mr. Scoble.
  • Pete Steege · 1 year ago
    BBC comments were really interesting. I could almost see the writer contemplating the future effect of these micro-interactive broadcasts on his world.
    As this trend takes hold, storage requirements are going to jump yet again. Rather than creating one version of news reporting/analysis, interactive interviews like these will create hundreds or thousands of versions of a story or topic. All video, all needed to be archived and distributed.
    The petabyte is the new terabyte!
  • Thomas Purves · 1 year ago
    Sounds like a wonderfully inspiring event. Keep up the blogging and coverage Robert. Looking forward to hearing your stories when you get to Geneva.

    See you at Lift!

    cheers,

    This qik.com website is so lame. I just can't watch any of your videos. I used to watch all of them at your previous website but now this website just won't work. Maybe you can put them on youtube or something. It is a shame that I can't watch your video just because of this bad platform
