The Internet has been a big help to me since college. Because I did not have the complete reference books, I researched most of my assignments online. Proud to say, I was in the Dean’s List until I graduated.

I rely on the Internet so much. Even the communication to my family back home is mostly through chatting on the web. One of the best chat service I have had installed in my computer is Skype. I had this software for years. In fact, I met my husband online. Since we had a long distance relationship, our getting-to-know dating was via video chat with Skype.

Of course, you cannot video chat without a high quality web camera. I admire my husband’s FV ExpressCombo webcam from faceVsion that, he said, he used when we were chatting on the weekends. Plus, the compatibility of the gadget to Skype’s features really gave high quality output. A big difference between my low end webcam back home and his faceVsion webcam is undeniable. Whenever I video chat with my parents or siblings, I can see them clearly without interruption. Works really great for me. Actually, these HD web cameras can be of great use in business video conferencing too.

Another thing from faceVsion is the FV touchcam N1, the first Internet streaming true HD webcam for Skype video calls. It has a built in H.264 encoder for superb video experience. I recommend this to my sister to use on her laptop. These HD web cameras are available through shop.faceVsion.com or faceVision on line store and other value added partners. Since it is back to school, www.shop.faceVsion.com is offering $10 off any purchase using the promo code FVTBTS2 at checkout. Promo ends 9/30/10.
