Most of this article are written by User:Mengkiat The user made reverted a comparision to Qik that was not positive XinJeisan (talk) 03:53, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Having a look at LinkedIn... seems so :) --Abdull (talk) 21:44, 11 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Punctuation[edit]

I found several punctuation errors in this article and they seemed to be consistent throughout.

Note: When you are listing 3 or more items use a comma after the last item you are listing.

Correct: ...via Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and many other online web 2.0 sites.

Not Correct: ...via Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and many other online web 2.0 sites.

Also, both commas and periods go inside the quotes.

Correct: ...announced “24 Hours @ Sundance.”

Not Correct: ...announced “24 Hours @ Sundance”.

Though I am not the author of the above edits, please allow me to defend them. Technically, it is still considered acceptable to omit a serial comma, though opinions vary. Similarly, placing ending punctuation outside of quotation marks when the punctuation applies applies logically to the sentence but not the quotation is an example of [quotation] and is typical of users in the United Kingdom. As someone with a background in math and computer science, I find logical quotation eliminates ambiguity and in general just makes more sense than the "correct" method I was taught in grade school. Since the editor was consistent in style, there is little reason to change them other than particular attachment to one of many acceptable styles or, more generally, Americentrism with respect to grammar.

Isn't that just a difference in dialect, I often use the serial comma or Oxford comma and it was called "bad English" by other editors, while when I omit it others will also claim that it's "bad English" and will improve it with their "better English", there simply isn't a way one can win with grammar so both should be deemed acceptable and we should all abide WP:CIVIL. --Lumia930uploader (talk) 21:46, 14 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Advertisement?[edit]

This page sounds like an advertisement page. I just tried Qik on my HTC Wildfire, but it did not perform the said two-way video chat function. Was it only limited to certain models, or was it limited to only Sprint users? Somebody need to clarify this. Otherwise, I found the text here like advertisement. -- Tomchiukc (talk) 16:58, 14 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I also found the page seemed much like an advertisement. I consolidated a lot of very repetitive text which offered no value to the article other than to pad it or make it larger. I also removed the long list of very obscure "rewards" the service had received. Finally, I added to the "History" section the announced impending shutdown scheduled to occur 4/30/2014. -- 184.90.177.7 (talk) 05:00, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
