"My Webcam" video and Logitech
In 2006, Bowiechick posted a video titled The Breakup, in which they discusses their personal life while experimenting with web cam effects. After receiving many comments about the effects, they produced a video titled My Webcam, explaining how the effects were achieved using a Logitech Quickcam Orbit MP.[4]
The My Webcam video is credited as doubling sales for Logitech at Amazon.com, rousing the interest of other businesses that wished to duplicate this result.[5] Apparently, the viewer reaction was in response to the use of Logitech Video Effects in their video. Despite garnering publicity for the manufacturer, Bowiechick did not participate in a paid promotion.[6]
