Mine's an ancient Intel USB model.

I use it for checking the status of my receding hairline/bald patch. Much easier than using mirrors.

I have a brand new Creative Live! Cam Voice which I would use for Skype if I could only get the wonderful Skype to download. Here's my thread about it:

I use my inbuilt one for video conversations/meetings (typically Skype) and also for taking snapshots of myself wearing cunning disguises for use as Jabber avatars.

I must be one of the few people who actually use their webcam! I use mine for video skype calls with my girlfriend in Switzerland.

yeah used to use mine for video calling my GF in Canada. But shes now my wife so I have no need for it anymore. Plus i'm also worried about using it since Die Hard 4 in case some hackers penetrate my code walls, steal my internet and gain control over my webcam to see me hanging out with silent bob.
