With a great amount of encouragement (not only from her own community, but from me as well), I think Ponzi is finally going to give YouTube a go. She’s set up her own channel and has uploaded her first video – taken on her own Flip camcorder a few weeks ago. The clip is hilarious. Scroll down for the embed, or start by reading my top ten list of live webcam uses:

1. Point it over your shoulder for a “rear view” mirror
2. Use it to keep an eye on your child / husband
3. Security (either when you’re at home or away)
4. Point it at your mailbox to know when the day’s delivery is done
5. Capture personal bloopers and disgusting habits
6. Keep an eye on the stove, but not necessarily to watch pots
7. Watch television / listen to radio from another room
8. Remote aquarium enjoyment
9. Front door monitor to avoid magazine salespeople
10. Watch for interesting-looking clouds
