Speaking of Skype live shots (below), a company called Eye.Fi will demonstrate a new product at CES that will allow your camera to connect to WiFi and upload video straight to YouTube. It’s only a matter of time before all still and video cameras have this functionality included. Add a GPS chip to the equation, like the iPhone, and all these photos and video clips could be geo-tagged as they’re uploaded directly from the camera to the internet. That, folks, will be the true birth of citizen media.

I’ve been messing with Qik (www.qik.com) for several weeks and just started getting our reporters to do live broadcast fieldwork with the platform, using its embedded Flash player on our site. It’s a great low-tech/high-impact solution.
I have an app on my iPhone called Qik (I’m sure you’ve heard of it….www.qik.com). I can send live streaming video/audio from my iPhone to a website where people can see it live…..video is also recorded onto the server for later viewing.

I don’t honestly believe You Tube would put up with it. Bypassing the site PLEADS for simply ravenous spamming.
PS Nobody wants maybe 15 wireless media uplinks. That’s why we have a main computer with media creation software.
If California is actually falling into the sea and the KGO radio towers are falling into a hole as the Golden Gate’s deck sinks 4 tankers and floods the city, YEAH that’s a great use?
