Come join me in Norway via Qik
March 2, 2008 //
I’m giving a keynote at Mobile Monday Norway on March 3rd and I’m hoping you can join me via live streaming using Qik.
The evening is about
The past, present and future of USG mobileTV from a global perspective with focus on the key technologies/infrastructure, empowering end users and to bring all UMTS license holders in Norway together at one table to find out what the current status are.
Carl Taylor and I will be giving the Keynotes, followed by panel discussions. I thought it was impressive to say I was one of the first to join AOL as a small startup during the mid nineties until I met Carl. Carl was employee no 1 at mobile operator, 3.
Carl’s keynote is entitled ‘The Past, Present and Future of mobileTV ecosystems and emerging business models for User Generated Content…’
Mine is entitled ‘How much I love Qik and how User Generated Content is drastically evolving the business models of the media world…’
It almost sounds like I’m sponsored by Qik but I’m not! The title was chosen by Shaun Thanki who was kind enough to offer me the opportunity to hit Norway for the first time 
I’m going to do some live streaming during my talk, so I hope you can join the live chat room to have a chat and perhaps ask me, or other people questions. I’m likely to start streaming at around 19:30 (Norway time). Check out what time that is in your country.
What is Qik?
Qik is an application that enables you to broadcast live video straight from your mobile phone. As soon as you start streaming, friends are invited to join a live chat room so they can see you stream.
As soon as I stream, a message is automatically sent to Twitter enabling friends to join the chat room right away.
So, why not subscribe to my Twitter feed and get notified of my live streaming. I’m particularly keen to get as many people as I can into the live chat tomorrow night.
Hope you can make it!

Can you change the message that is sent to twitter etc?
The default one is really annoying and you can get about ten of them in a row if you’re unlucky

Michele - you can by setting the Title of the Qik from the phone before streaming. The title will then get used for the tweet. We are working on the ability to customize the default message as well.

@Michele - we sometimes stop and restart in order to change the quality control settings. I’ll do less of this so I don’t end up creating more than one video for the same purpose - unless it’s warranted.
@Bhaskar - I’ll use the title feature in future, thanks for including it and look forward to chatting tomorrow.
