Default Webcam Poker

Ok, kinda. At least it's a site that involves both webcams and poker, although clearly not for real money.

Also, they pretty blatantly stole a Party Poker mod and the cards for the background, but whatever.

Social networking, chat, content sharing, and casual games — we’ve seen them all.

But Mountain View, Calif.’s HeyCosmo combines these elements, throws in live webcam streaming and ends up with something new.

The site makes it easy for groups of up to 10 people with webcams to see and engage each other around activities like playing fake-money Texas Hold ‘Em, watching videos, or sharing desktops or simple group chat. (see screenshot below)

This has been around for a few years, pushed by a company called RIAM, if I remember correctly. PokerHost tried it in real money, but it apparently did not catch on.

It worked like NetMeeting.
