I'm on the road a lot and therefore depend on instant messaging (specifically, ICQ) to keep in touch. I have contemplated using my webcam, but so far that has been impractical. That might change with the product described in this article, the Logitech IM Video Companion. Logiteck, of course, makes one of the most popular webcams. Of course, as the article suggests, the idiots in change of IM software (mainly at AOL) who have prevented interoperability between systems may yet stymie the use of this software. Another relevant question is whether it will be free; as the article suggests (and as i discovered to my dismay), Logitech charges users to use its (very bad) online webcasting service, and supports no other software for its camera.
