Joseph Tame ran the Tokyo marathon and used Qik to stream video of the race, live from his cell phone. People tuning in to watch live on the web were able to send their comments of encouragement to Joseph, via Qik’s chat function, while he ran. I loved the comment that he left on the blog post that one of our co-founders, Bhaskar, wrote about Joseph’s delightful use of our technology:

Thank YOU bhaskar and all at Qik for making this possible! I really find it incredible that such technology and services are now within reach of ‘normal’ people. Like you say, it really was a case of just tapping on ‘record’ and then letting [Qik] do its thing, as I ran. In the end over 1000 people tuned in from around the world as I ran - it was incredible to get so many messages of support from all over the world. I look forward to seeing this kind of thing become much more common!

Don’t we all…
