Budget Finds: Digicams for Google's Latest Instance of Wonderfulness

Living a good four and a half hours away from TWB means that we must constantly find new ways to engage with one another that don't rely on finnicky T-mobile reception. Not to bash T-mobile, but what kind of carrier makes you lean halfway out of your window to get reception when you're in one of the country's biggest cities?

I digress. But T-mobile hasn't been the only culprit here. Skype, the former web-connecting giant of the world, has begun to provide less and less reliable connections, with calls dropping every few minutes to everyone's despair. It's like a bad TV commercial, but you can't complain because, after all, the service is free.

But then along came Google, with it's ever-powerful splendor, and introduced video gchat--which has so far proved to be far more reliable than T-mobile and Skype combined. In honor of the newly-launched service (also a budget find, if you will, as it's totally free of charge), I've found the cheapest webcam on the internet, ringing in at a special price of $13. Even with $4 shipping, that rings in well under our $25 budget.

Talk about a budget find! If you or anyone you know has a long distance relationship to maintain (romantic, friendly, or otherwise), I'd snatch one of these babies before the promotion ends! Check here for more info.
