Then there are Web cams...{copy below taken from an Oct 28th Web-Today
newsletter}
JASBITS Top5 Netcams
http://www.jas.com/jasbits/netcams.html
If you're new to Webcam browsing you may find sorting through
thousands of such pages a little daunting. Webcam quality
varies and you can easily waste hours searching through dull
images looking for the gems. JASBITS Top5 Netcams saves you
that work by collecting the best of the best on one easy to
browse page. Each cam is selected from among thousands by
surfers that visit the site's main page. Cams are grouped
into several categories including indoor, outdoor, animal and
special event cams. This is a great place to start enjoying
live webcast images. Note that some of these cams may be
adult in nature so surf this link with care.
KGW Skycam Network
http://www.kgw.com/cams6.asp
Here in Portland, Oregon, the home of Web-Today Destinations
we have access to one of the most comprehensive collections
of outdoor cameras on the 'net. KGW's Skycam Network presents
live images from all around the state. There are Oregon coast
cams, Mount Hood cams, downtown Portland cams and a handful
of live images from inside KGW's studios. Each image is
presented in both thumbnail and high-resolution formats. KGW
has a lot of live views but they're certainly not unique.
Your local TV station may offer a similar selection of live
images as well.
EarthCam
http://www.earthcam.com/
It's easy to get hooked on Webcams because there are so many
of them out there. With Webcam images you can take a virtual
trip to almost anywhere on the planet. EarthCam is the
premier Webcam resource where visitors can choose from
thousands of cams in every class and location imaginable. The
site is constructed around an intuitive Yahoo like directory
that makes browsing the links easy and fun. Each listing is
accompanied by a short description so you'll know what to
expect. Specialized sections cover the most popular links,
event cams and new cam additions.
Sam's Webcam Cookbook
http://www.teleport.com/~samc/bike/
The best thing about Webcams is that they're easy to set up.
You don't need a dedicated connection or a special computer.
With a small investment in hardware and software almost
anyone can broadcast live images over the Internet. Our good
friend, associate and former Web-Today contributor Sam
Churchill maintains the best Webcam construction site on the
'net. Sam's Webcam Cookbook details the ins and outs of
setting up all kinds of cams from simple desktop varieties to
full-fledged mobile units that can be worn or mounted on a
bike. If you're interested in setting up a Webcam make sure
and visit this site first.

I think the future of TV on the Web is that the Web will be full of amateur
folks producing TV shows totally independent of any networks.

"Over the past year the story dominating headlines in every magazine
dealing with electronic media has been the rapid convergence of digital
processing technologies that are bringing the video, computer,
telecommunications, publishing, and entertainment industries together. As
the traditional infrastructure of television broadcasters, video equipment
manufacturers, and the FCC near a decision point on the future of U.S.
terrestrial broadcast, voices have been raised from these converging
industries that the decision should not be made in a 'broadcast vacuum.'
Interoperability among all types of digital media is becoming the focal
point of the debate surrounding the future of communications--not only in
the U.S., but on a global level as well."
