Larry Magid, syndicated columnist for the LA Times, begins by giving us a lesson on the hardware basics of web cams. He introduces us to web cams from Logitech and Creative Labs plus tells us what we can expect in various applications of web cams.

Lisa Pollock then unveils new features from Yahoo! that utilizes web cam technologies. She shows us how you can connect with friends and families with web cams and Yahoo! instant messenger watching each other while you have a conversation. You can also add audio so you can do PC-to-PC voice chat. And, Pollock also explains how the newest element to Yahoo! email easily attaches a piece of video to an email using a video composer feature.

We also get a tour through some of the current web cam sites on the Internet with Betsy Malloy from About.com. She shows us some of the more whimsical sites like Peter's and Debbie's cam attached to their car and some of the more useful ones such as travel and weather cams.
