Live from the web
A 
trend that I am seeing more of is live video coverage of events by news organizations.The Washington Post is providing live video coverage of the election this year. Some issues or events deserve live video coverage because viewers want to follow them closely, and perhaps, access alternative perspectives than what cable news provides.
Mogulus offers a free service that enables people to produce live embeddable content from their web cam. The free version features ads, however users can pay to upgrade to the Pro version. Michigan State University students are experimenting with this site by covering the election live.
Qik enables you to stream videos directly from your phone to the web. The Web site says it works with Nokia S60 phones and several phones running Windows Mobile. You will have to sign up to see if it works with your phone. As a tip, you should be careful not to move the mobile phone around too much while recording because it will difficult for the viewer to watch the video. Try to keep your hand steady while recording.
TechCrunch provides a list of other sites that will allow you to do live video.
