EarthCam Announces Top 25 2005 Webcams

Search engine devoted to Internet cameras shows off their 25 picks of the most interesting views, including inside a piranha fish tank and polar icecap images from Antarctica.

EarthCam, a search engine for finding webcams around the world, today announced their top 25 2005 webcams list. Topping the list are cameras which offer viewers access to the Great Pyramids, koala and panda bears, swimming piranhas and African elephants, among others.

EarthCam said the top 25 list was “chosen by a panel of EarthCam producers who selected the best out of hundreds of popular webcam nominees. Generated by submissions from individual webcam owners, fans and EarthCam researchers throughout the year, many of the nominees were featured in EarthCam’s weekly Top 10 List. The criteria used for judging included quality of the image, uniqueness of the content and overall technical achievements in webcam technology.”

“Since we began our Top 25 list in 1999, the Internet has literally exploded with live webcam images,” said Brian Cury, founder and CEO of EarthCam. “Internet cameras have become a viable and pervasive communication medium for education, entertainment and tourism marketing. We applaud the producers of this compelling content, and this year’s list of the 25 Most Interesting Webcams is our most diverse and international to date.”
