Finding Webcams on the Internet

There are thousands of Webcams on the Internet. Some are outdoor cams, some are indoor cams, some are pointed at really interesting people and things, and some are pointed at potted plants and coffee machines. With all these cams available, how do you find an interesting one to watch?

There are several large Webcam directories on the Internet. All these directories list hundreds of different sites, by type; some of these directories also provide Webcam hosting services, and function as a one-stop-shop for anyone looking to set up his or her own Web.
