I believe you can use a standard equipped Digital camera or camcorder properly attached to your Mac for iChat and AIM. I've never bothered with it either though. I remember all the scares I was getting about iChat years back with the security issues. Screen sharing and ichat seem to be the domain for lawyers to me, honestly. (That's just my opinion) I have used SeaMonkey's IRC a time or two when something was really pressing for me to know about SM. Those guys are really helpful, btw. I'm really not all that interested in it. Kinda reminds me of the TV phone that never went far. It's all a matter of preference, I may try it sometime. I do have a yahoo account, though I rarely ever use it.
