Bytemarks

This week has been one of those crazy weeks with something happening almost every day, tweetup with @sukhjit, another in-studio dry run for Bytemarks Care, Manoa Geeks, North shore twitter lesson and a Hawaii Public Radio year-end dinner. It’s times like these that make the short form posts more appealing. For example, posting a tweet to Twitter, photos to Flickr, sending a Twitpic from your phone, sending an Utterz audio file and now my new communications tool, Qik.com videos. Qik’s been around for awhile but it was only recently that I got my hands on a Samsung Blackjack II phone, one of the phones supported by Qik. In essence it is a one button approach to recording a video and posting it to Qik. Doing impromptu videos with visiting Internet celebrities like @sukhjit from Seesmic or local tech geeks like @ikitajima and @jamiehatch are a snap. You can find a sampling of the Bytemarks videos on Qik. One problem that I have not completely mastered. Depending on where you are located and the availability of a 3G connection the video might be shorten due to aborted transmission. So it’s not ubiquitous but you get the idea. I hope to bring you more Qik videos in the coming days.
