w0nk0's dashboard

It's become even worse! Since the last update, the option to share your videos with your followers/groups is GONE. Now you have to send an e-mail invite to those you wish to be able to see the qik. Most ridiculous: When they are logged in, they can NOT see the qik unless they use the secret link from the e-mail.

This is pathetic. Qik had a great idea and dropped the ball SO BADLY it's hard to not laugh at them (and their VC investors).

I have to totally second that! I just don't see the sense in the whole concept:

- if you make a qik private NO ONE can see it? Why would you do that??
- if you set to default "share to group" only your PUBLIC qiks are shared? What do you need the group for then?

Why not just make it like this:

- all videos that are shared to a group are visible to the group members, private or public
- you can set a status "friends only" and you only share these qiks with people YOU follow

Oh, and while you're at it, why not make the count of a users qik match the qiks that the visitor can actually see? Right now that count is obviously including private qiks, which is a) confusing and b) a privacy issue.

I am so confused by this UI design - especially as I see qik having the potential to be GREAT - on the phone, I just love the outstanding 1-click-you're-done experience! But If I want to share s/th with ONLY a friend, I need to make it priavte and can't make it viewable for him w/o using a PC browser? That's sad.
