I’ve always been happy with products I’ve purchased from Logitech. For that reason I’ve been looking specifically at the Logitech Pro 9000 for notebooks. My question is whether or not I’ll really jump into using it as much as I’d like or expect myself to do.

I’ve got a great set of headphones and mic that I use with Skype, but I don’t always have Skype running while I’m online. More than likely due to my working arrangements during the day, having headphones on and the privacy to have a voice conversation via Skype is fiarly unlikely. I’m wondering if the same will be true of my video endeavors. If I rely on using it after hours, will it be used.

Here’s the question and thought for you, the readers. Are you drawn to video blog posts? Do you use any webcams? What’s been your experience with making it a regular part of your online availability? Is it worth the purchase or should I take that money and put it towards something else I’d use more frequently?

Using a Webcam to Move Into Online Video

Hulu has been covered at a variety of angles by b5media’s authors and on EveryJoe. I first wrote about it back in December of last year when it was in private beta release.

Hulu is now public and they’ve had some mainstream commercials about their service being aired since the SuperBowl. They’ve also recently released a stand-alone desktop application for you to get all the great content from Hulu onto your computer screen without the need for your browser to be open and screen real-estate to be lost to browser controls.

The video quality is outstanding on my laptop. I could easily watch probably hours of TV shows like this. Most of the shows have commercial interruptions but that’s fine with me. I understand that’s the price you pay for free TV.

There’s so much content available on Hulu from recent shows to old stuff like one of my favorite shows as a kid A-Team. The search function could be a little bit better about finding the actual show you’re looking for, but I understand when they try to find close matches.
