OK - so I just got a web cam which I've hooked up and it seems to be working - at least I can see myself on the computer screen.

So now what do I do with it? Any suggestions on sites, web chats, games, internet telephone etc?

There's only one thing web cam is good for: cybering. Hook one up for your wife in another room.

I've really never gotten the point of webcams, outside of kinda pathetic internet dating or business conferencing.

If other people have legitimate uses, I'd genuinely be curious to know. I have a built-in one on my laptop, I've just never used it.

Is that an Eric Glennie creation

I got this thing because the career services department does some webinars and apparently you need a cam to ask questions - so I picked it up for $20 from woot.com but other than that I really have no clue what to do with it.

Webcams are for girls.










Hot ones with big racks who walk around naked all day.

My laptop came with one built in too. The only time I ever use it is when I talk to my girlfriend online when I'm working out of town.

Download Skype and get any overseas friends and relatives to do the same.

Create your own stop-motion animations.

That's about it. Webcams are one of those things which sounded fantastic when they were science fiction but in reality are rather pointless.
