The public beta of Qik a live mobile video streaming service has gone live today.
A direct competitor to kyte and Flixwagon, Qik has taken nice steps with it’s service by adding features specifically for groups and events.
The groups features, allow users to select who can upload and view selected clips. Included privacy options are:
public groups - anyone can post tor
restricted groups - anyone can view, but only select users to post
private groups - restricts viewing and uploading to a specified group of users
The events options are essentially a temporary group that is associated to a particular event.
Last week they announced the iPhone to their list of supported devices.
Techcrunch walks you through a nice breakdown of all three services side by side.
