Matt just pointed me at this article:

101 Uses for Apple iChat

You knew it had to happen but I always find it interesting what kinds of clever ways people find to use Apple technology. Granted not all are on the up and up but still - clever folks out there… Everything from iChat dating, to iChat Pen Pals, to using a DV cam to re-broadcast Pay-per-view TV (which - by the way is stealing just like swaping MP3s - if you don’t want people to put in draconian security in their products to stop this kind of stuff then don’t use the technology in ways that will force them to do it).

The article also points to a number of clearing house sites that provides references to a bunch of clearing house sites that give people a way of finding others with iSight Cameras. Kind of reminds me of the old CU-See Me days of years ago - only with video that works. In case you don’t want to go searching here are the links:

iChatFinder
MyiSight.com
iSighting
iChattin.com
Seeser.org

There are some cool ways people are using this stuff and some not so cool ways but regardless its all pretty interesting..
