It’s with sadness for all involved that GotoCamera has closed its doors after 4.5 years in business. I’ve reviewed GotoCamera several times on this weblog, used the service for monitoring my son when he was a baby, and treasure the pictures and videos it’s given us.

This year an important development has taken place in the market, standalone IP WiFi cameras are now available for less than $100. That is, no PC is required, just plug-it in and you’re monitoring whatever […]
Yesterday I made my first WebRTC call to Lance Berks (of HollyConnects fame) using FrisB from the latest Chrome browser, and after that went on the explore a number of services available using WebRTC. So I thought I’d start to compile a list of interesting start-ups with WebRTC-based services. A previous weblog article provides a […]
