QIK is a live video service that allows you to stream video files directly from your video enabled phone. Qik videos can be streamed to Facebook, Twitter and many other online web 2.0 sites. Qik enables you to run a very small piece of software directly on your phone instead of having to lug around a heavy camcorder to record live action. Qik is currently in alpha so it does not support many phones, but most Nokia phones are supported and new phone supported is added almost daily, and iPhone capability is imminent.
