Scoble was one for the first on Qik last year, Cali Lewis started this
summer. All of them jump between traditional and Mobile Live when it
hits the need - such as Scoble earlier this year at Davros World
Economic Summit - ambush interviews because they didn't see a "video
camera".
The real problem with the live feature of mobile video is how do you
alert the viewers. Twitter is often down or people don't check it
every minute... And when most stations break into programming, the
audience rarely cares about the "breaking" news event.
