Slideshows, Music, Videos Plus - it's Stickam

Have you seen the new bit of web magic from Stickam?

From their website:

Add music, videos, photos, and live video chat to your blog and/or web site. Talk to people who visit your blog or web site. See and talk to your family and friends. Demonstrate your product and talk to your customers online.

It's a weird kind of name - and I always am skeptical of things that are free - especially given my Blogger.com experience. . . but I'm trying to be open minded on this one.

And as far as learning all about the online meeting and video conferencing technology part of this free Stickam thingamabob goes, I know that some people will say this means it's time to get a web cam.

But for me it's first a way to present a slide show without having viewers leave the blog,

Fine, fine - I'll get around to the more techie stuff at some point but in the meantime I'm testing how it works for a limited use.

OH!!!! 

But - maybe - eventually -  I could use it to demo my classic guided drawing lesson "How to Draw a Fish". . .

That always gets lots of laughs and proud faces and amazed people and . . .  lightbulb moments too . .

. . .W O W 
    . . . or the painted paper classes normally people only can see in person!

   ooooh

   and

   ahhhh  - -

              NOW I'm beginning to get the picture.

                    . . . . Welcome technology!

Let me know what you've heard about Stickam or other similar applications, or what your own experience is would you?
