Cam to blog?

[higherbeing]

Hey guys,

I'm about to go on a huge road trip (San Diego CA to Washington DC) and my phone will be mounted in the window of my car providing me with directions via TomTom. Now I was wondering, does anybody know if it is possible to stream directly to the web? I would like to add a little "live webcam" section to my blog while I'm driving so people can see live what I'm seeing on the road. If anybody knows how to do this, advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

You can stream live using http://qik.com/.

It (usually) works well for me.



The vid can be embedded onto your blog too.

doesnt work for me...gives me a spinning wheel and just sits there... :(

I know what you mean - it takes a while to buffer up.

It works better as almost-live streaming; if you stop filming, it quickly catches up and the vid is viewable.

This is ok if you're taking lots of short films of a couple of minutes each but it might not be too practical for your purposes - you don't want to be messing around with the phone every five minutes while you're driving!

Ah well, perhaps someone will come up with a better idea - I'd be interested too.

lol your phone is going to melt with tom tom and the webcam streaming.
