Skype Qik: Microsoft's Ephemeral Video-Messaging App
Microsoft has released a new app called Skype Qik, which offers self-destructing video messages and pre-recorded GIFs.
Snapchat’s popularity, especially among the younger demographic, is fueling a trend towards the ephemeral. Microsoft’s Skype is the latest to capitalize on this, introducing Skype Qik for Android, iOS and Windows Phone. The app, which launched today, lets users send video messages to groups or individuals that are set to disappear after two weeks. Users can also manually delete videos before the two weeks are up, which would delete the video from recipients’ phones too.
