But even for more mundane occasions, Qik's early fans say it's satisfying to know you could broadcast anything to anyone in the world at a second's notice should the need arise. Digg.com founder Kevin Rose likes the way Qik enriches communication. "Think of the next time you're making a buying decision or attending a concert," Rose says.
