Text based communication is the basis of all messaging on the internet. We send and receive emails and on sites like Love Horse we might send and receive messages and instant messages. We might use the chat rooms and engage in live group chat, and we might also use other forms of text based messaging e.g. MSN, Skype Chat etc., but a few pounds spent on a webcam can open up a whole new dimension to online communication.

Webcams are cheap, easy to use, and a great leap forward for the online dater or cyber penpal. As well as adding to your Love Horse experience your webcam can also by used with Skype, MSN, and a whole host of other applications. You can take still pictures, make short video clips, and even keep an eye on your own home or office when you're away.
