Qik, the live streaming service that lets you use a cellphone as the video camera has raised $3 million in funding according to VentureBeat. Qik uses a lot of Flash video and I think they even use Flash Media Server to help support the site.

There are two times that the benefit of Qik really came home for me. The first was at Engage when Robert Scoble had the best video coverage of anyone at the event with his little Qik-enabled phone. He got great video of the event and got people talking about it. The second has been the bus tour. Danny Dura has been streaming Qik movies at the venues and on the trains and it’s been a lot of fun to go back and watch them.
