Next to qik, Next2Friends January 4th, 2008
Fast on the heels of qik.com, an on-line video streaming service that I wrote about earlier, we have another service that just came out of the development stage. Named Next2Friends, this new service is similar to qik.com but has more features in addition to video streaming from your mobile phone.
From their FAQ, it states the following services that set it a bit above what qik.com has to offer:
You can do all the things that you'd expect from a Social Networking site like setting up a profile, uploading pictures and searching for and connecting with friends. But at the heart of Next2Friends are 6 new revolutionary services that run on and interact with your Mobile Device. They are:
- Live Streaming Video
- Next2Friends Tag
- Ask-A-Friend
- Video Messaging
- Online Video Editing
- Snap Up or SUP
I suggest that you check out their website to learn more about this.
Unfortunately, I do not have a phone that supports these two services. I wish I had one so I can stream meetings and conferences to my peers. Imagine the possibilities.
