Use your camera with multiple apps simultaneously

SPLITCAM video clone capture driver software
From the site:
SplitCamera is a freeware virtual video clone and video capture driver for connecting several applications to a single video capture source. Usually, if you have a web-camera connected to your computer, you cannot use it in more than one application at the same time, and there is no standard Windows options that makes it possible. SplitCam driver allows you to easily multiply your web-camera video in any conferensing software like ICQ, Yahoo, MSN Messenger, or whatever… and to broadcast it to many users at a time. With SplitCam you can connect up to 64 clients to a single video source. In a few words: SplitCam does just what its name says: it splits the video stream coming from the video source and tunnels it to numerous other client applications.

Rocketboom on TV..

TV Stardom on $20 a Day – New York Times
Lots of vlog reporting but the main juice here is that Rocketboom is on TiVo’s.. Hmmn.
From the article:
TiVo, which can now be used to watch Web video on home television sets, just signed a deal to list Rocketboom in the TiVo directory – making it as easy to record as conventional television programs like “60 Minutes” and “Monday Night Football.” Giving up no creative control, Ms. Congdon and Mr. Baron will get 50 percent of the revenue from ads sold by TiVo to appear before and after their newscast, and their show will gain access to more than 300,000 TV sets connected to those new TiVo boxes.
