EarthCam Announces Ninth Annual '25 Most Interesting Webcams' for 2007

NEW YORK, Dec. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- EarthCam, the world's favorite webcam network and recognized authority on the Internet camera industry has released its ninth annual list of the world's most interesting webcams.

Leading with the only known webcam transmitting street views from Havana, Cuba, this year's top 25 list (viewable at www.EarthCam.com/top25) honors worldwide Internet camera producers for concept creativity, technology, visual quality and design.

EarthCam producers search more than 5,000 webcams annually to choose 125 semi-finalists who meet the criteria of concept creativity, technology and design. A VIP panel of judges selects the winners.

The 2007 selection offers some of the most stunning scenic cams to date including dramatic live deep-sea views, forest and jungle animals, picturesque travel destinations, and an assortment of whimsical and unique entries from 12 countries.

Live underwater cams in a giant ocean tank in Boston, MA, a coral reef in Bonaire and a robotic camera in the Mediterranean Sea off Italy bring new dimensions to the mysteries of the deep.

Beautiful views of a boat excursion in Interlaken, Switzerland, the hourly appearance of mechanical saints in windows of an historic clock in Prague, Vatican City architecture and the bustle of Times Square, New York offer unique "travel" experiences.

The live cameras also introduce viewers to antics of Seattle, Washington's "Flapper The Duck", and tests their patience watching a mussel grow on Prince Edward Island, Canada.

"We are delighted to recognize the talent, hard work and leadership of the winning webcam site creators and managers as they inform, educate and entertain the world. They are among the elite of the Internet," said Brian Cury, founder and CEO of EarthCam.
