There are so many great web apps (web applications) nowadays it’s hard to pick which is right for your needs (whatever they might be). The best thing about web apps, well the basis really, is that you can access them from any computer with an internet connection. You could be at your friends place or half way around the world and you can still show off your latest holiday photos via a web app, like Flickr.

With the introduction of web apps it’s even easier to breakdown the walls of the office and work from anywhere. A lot of people use them so they can work remotely or share/access files – all important office needs. But there are some people who use them for other purposes.

There is this great web app called LogMeIn (Log Me In). It allows you to access, view and control your computer, whether that be your home or office computer depending on what you set up, from any computer (via a web browser). The computer that you are accessing must be on and it must have an active internet connection.

Now my cousin mainly uses it for business purposes so if she’s saved a document on her home computer, she can use LogMeIn to access the computer and email the file to herself. Very handy. But I think she uses this more frequently as a Kitty-Cam rather than an office tool.

All you need to do is Log in; launch a web cam application, like Photo Booth, and there you go – Kitty Kam. You can see your home computer screen with the live web cam feed from the office or anywhere. And with the incorporation of Skype you can talk to them, so if they’re not in view you can yell out to them (or sing to them, whatever tickles your fancy)… It’s just like you’re there.

I bet the good people at LogMeIn are jumping with joy to be supporting this vital cause. Good work guys – Kitty Kam accomplished.
