Tutorial: Twitter alerts for your Qik live mobile streams
While encoding tonight's newscast, I was messing with a feature in Qik that lets you automate alerts about the fact that you're streaming mobile video to one of several social platforms, so I wanted to enable such notifications for the users that follow me on Twitter. After some initial difficulty and discovering syntax snafus, I got it working.
Hope it helps you, too!
**UPDATE**
Clarification from the Qik team:
The hit "55" to send out twitter notifications only apply to Nokia phones, on iPhone, there is a "send alert" button. Twitter alert is not yet available on Windows Mobile and BlackBerry, users have to set "Tweet all videos" under edit profile on their profile page.
