Most webcam portals are 90% BS. Most of the cameras they list are no longer existent, never did work, or there was never a camera there, but simply ads that no one would pay attention to unless they used a trick to get you there. In short, most webcam portals are total frauds. And it might take me sorting through a hundred camera listing to find just a few good ones.

That all changed with Opentopia. They stand the whole thing on it's head. Now over 90% of their listing work, unknown in the webcam world. And OS X seems perfectly suited to read those cams without messing with downloads and a zillion plug ins. I'm still very impressed.
