What can Live Web Cams be used for?

Check out this live web cam (before next week, when the puppies get sold). Then comment about what other (positive) purposes live web cams could be used for. What are the issues around this technology?

Broadcasting Live with Ustream.TV

These people set up this live web cam to keep an eye on their investement. They breed and sell these unique shiba-inu puppies.

Well, I guess no one has seen the live web cam, noting how there are no comments. I was watching it and noticed how those dogs are vicious. So other positive purposes for live web cams would be for roads and such. If you could watch a live camera feed from you house, and seeing how it's in a heavy traffic rush, then you can choose the best route to take. A issue I can think of is connection. Like my idea earlier, what would happy if a snow storm or a wind storm like we had earlier in the year, hit and the camera lost connection.

Your idea of traffic web cams is perfect! In fact, check this out.

Ms. H, I couldn't get your link to work, but as I looked into the traffic web cams, New York City has something similar to the web cams, but it's called a still frame. They also have streaming video of the cameras that they use, but I couldn't get anything to work. You can see it here.

I think that live webcams are clever for some things but not everything. Like Larry said traffic cams would be good but having like a live webcam watching you puppies would be annoying because you would try not to mess up something.
