I think webcams have a long way to go, although webcams have been around for a while they are still not used much in our everyday lives. For example I have friends who have long distance relationships. They chat on aim, facebook, email, and mail gifts to each other. But why the hell don't they just get webcams and communicate with a visual experience.
I feel the companies that sell webcams have lacked mainstream marketing and perhaps don't feel the product will generate enough income for them. I have not seen a commercial on TV pushing webcams.
The company I work for just invested big money in video conferencing and I am sure they could have found a solution with webcams though a large TV monitor.
I promote the fuck out of cams and I don't even own a webcam.
