One question, do you think those internet cameras are really worthwhile? Do you use one?
Its a bit of a toy. It's really only useful if you know someone else who has one. A short while ago you could troll the Internet and chat with people. However, there is so much weirdness out there, this is harder to do today. Still, it is good as an attached digital camera and mine came with some neat demo software that lets you shoot hoops or pop bubbles drawn on the screen by simply moving your hands. Also, the price is better than digital cameras since storage is taken care of. I did a quick and dirty portrait of myself for a publication using one.

Some of these cameras can be used via internet or through the modem as a standard videophone. This makes them compatible with the videophones used by some businesses.
