Windows users: if you've ever been jealous of a Mac simply because it comes with Photobooth built in, (you know, that silly webcam toy that lets you make yourself and your friends look ridiculous? Yeah, that one...) well now you have one less reason to be jealous of Macs. A website called Cameroid has taken the Photobooth concept and put it online. And let's just say that if you didn't know Photobooth that well, you could easily mistake Cameroid for it. So long as Apple doesn't mind, who are we to judge anyway? Cameroid is a very well done web toy, using Adobe's Flash functionality to gain access to your webcam. Once that is working, there are veritable minutes of fun to be had squishing your face and saving the pictures to... um... look at later? While the fun value of taking distorted pictures of oneself is clearly in the eyes of the beholder, Cameroid is a well executed site that performs exactly as advertised.
Cameroid works on any platform that supports giving Flash access to a webcam.

No "real" app for windows? i.e not web-based?

Actually, cameroid work just fine, but they won't let you shoot real photobooth pictures in strips of four shots. Just 1 shot isn't all that fun!
There's another new website where you can shoot "real photobooth" photos. I think its very neat: http://waves.tv
I recommmend it to all photobooth enthusiasts ;)
