The third meetup of The Royal Society Of Hackers, Designers, and Watchmakers is on this Saturday (update: it's on Saturday the 5th). You should come along.
I'm going to be working on codename Facesnap. A picture is worth a thousand words, so here's 1k worth of words for you:
If you have a webapp, Facesnap will make it super-easy for you to let your users take their pictures with their webcam. The main use case is updating profile pictures. It's much easier to snap it right there in the browser than remember where on your hard-drive a good picture is, locating it in the upload dialog, waiting for upload etc. A picture taken this way will always be up-to-date too.
Vidiowiki, of course, will be the first user of Facesnap.
Apart from being a useful service, Facesnap is also an excuse for me to build something with
Node.js. I will also be using
vertexjs for persistence.
