How popular is Qik, you ask? Put it this way: The mobile streaming video service just secured about $5.5 million dollars in funding, as noted in a recent SEC filing, which you can read after the break, if you're so inclined. [via mocoNews]

Among the investors throwing in this time around are Quest Venture Parterners, some private investors and CampVentures.

If you haven't played with Qik yet, definitely give it a shot. It's a simple way to livestream video from your phone. We demoed it way back in the beta stages, and it's cool to see just how much it's grown since then.

  • I've never heard of Qik until just now, pretty damn cool.
  • Perhaps you should take a look at Solaiemes LiveServe http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=541B300862BF5086
    It's a service that also allows broadcasting live video to the web form a simple 3G video call or standard videoShare.
    You don't need to install anything on your phone. Much simpler to use.
