Now, not only can video lovers upload their mobile videos to the Facebook video app using Facebook Connect, but they can update their status, post it to their wall, and add it to the news feed as well.

For those unfamiliar with Qik, it is a mobile streaming video application that's available for most phones that have video capabilities. With its Facebook integration, users can now post any of those videos to Facebook. This doesn't require the user to install a Facebook app, but instead simply linking their Qik account to their Facebook account.

It's very important to note that users cannot post live video to their Facebook account, but rather only recorded videos. To compensate for this, Qik has included the option to update your Facebook status with a link to a live stream on the Qik website.

This is a cool example of a company stepping in to improve on Facebook's existing features. With Qik also having ability to share videos via Twitter, distributing mobile video is becoming a lot simpler.
