EarthCam Announces The World's "25 Most Interesting Webcams of 2010" FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE New York, December 16, 2010 -- EarthCam, the world's premiere webcam network since 1996, today announced its 12th annual list of the world's "25 Most Interesting Webcams." The wide-range of 2010 honors were awarded to webcams from well-know landmarks such as Abbey Road and Hollywood Boulevard to puppies, firefoxes, hummingbirds . . . and sea monkeys. Some quiet corners of the world like Brucken (Germany) have intriguing cameras while beaches are represented this year as awards went to webcams in Hawaii and Thailand. 'Breathtaking' is the best word to describe a few winners: the AuroraMAX Live camera in Canada, the cityscape webcam in Zurich, Switzerland and the Naples and Vesuvio webcam in Italy. But a couple of the more off-beat webcams chalked up votes; the NASA Curiosity Cam in California and “Rich Da Barber” in Virginia. To look at all of the "25 Most Interesting Webcams of 2010" please visit www.earthcam.com/top25. "’We at EarthCam are pleased to honor our winners for their creativity, wide-range use of live webcam technology and their ability to entertain and educate millions,” said Brian Cury, Founder and CEO of EarthCam. “For the first time we have multiple HD camera winners from across the globe, raising the quality of the video significantly.
