This would be a great thing as I just found out my husband will be doing more traveling for work – it would be a great way for me and my daughter to miss daddy a bit less while he is away.

I’d use the FREETALK BuddyCam by hooking it up to my wife’s desktop computer, so when I’m travelling, our daughter, my wife, and I can video chat. (My laptop has a cam, my grandmother has a cam, so we can video chat my daughter with my grandmother; but not when I’m travelling.

I’d set my mother up with this so she can call my sister, and more importantly, my sisters two small children. I also tweeted this here: http://twitter.com/alee67/status/18495408058

I would replace a Logitech Express cam that has simply stopped working with my iBook G4, and video call with my folks overseas. In these hard economic times, having this little guy would certainly cheer things up around my desk too!

My HP laptop has a built-in webcame (1.3mp), but sometimes when using Skype, I’m not at the computer. It’d be immensely helpful to have an accessory like the BuddyCam that I can point in any direction I want plus it can stand on its own two feet!

I would use the free talk buddy chat to stay connected with my daughter! She goes to her Dad’s house every other weekend and a couple nights a week, she is eleven and at that very pivotal time in her life where she isn’t a child anymore, and not a teenager. Her Dad’s head is in the sand, and I am thrilled for everything she is feeling, changing, and experiencing right now. Being a chick rocks!! So I would use it to chat with her online, listen about her day, and love being a Mom on the days she isn’t physically with me. Thanks ChipChick – love you!

As my whole Family lives in Mexico and I am living and working in Germany, I would use the FREETALK Buddy Cam for videochatting with my grandma, which I haven’t seen for three years. I’ve got a lot of cousins, so that they can show her how it works
