It's time to update you on all the neat things you can do on TubeBear... but remember... you need to join to get in on the fun.

1st you can Livestream - turn your webcam on and see the number of guys watching you rise. There's 2 ways you can stream - the simplest way is to login to your profile, click Broadcast & Record Videos, and if your webcam is plugged in properly, just click ok and you'll be streaming immediately. However, if you want a good camera and a fast computer, then you can stream in higher resolution by using Flash Media Encoder. There's a bit of 'configurating' to do... it's all explained here. Check out to see who's LiveStreaming.

Instead of sending an 'Instant Message', send a RIM - a 'Recorded Instant Message'... never worry about carpal tunnel syndrome again since all you need to do is chat rather than type. And sending RIMs is very easy - again go to your Broadcast & Record Videos link, click ok, and start recording. I made a little video explaining all this, check it out here.

Once you are logged in and add a main photo to your profile, you can view everyone else's profile, their galleries, their videos and their livestreaming.

My buddy Frank (PlanetBears' Gallery) has one of the best profiles on TubeBear. You have to check it out. He filled in the description about himself, added a ton of photos to his gallery section, has made a load of little videos and he livestreams a lot. And if you haven't seen his videos, there's some that are adult, some of him talking, cooking... and my favourite - Frank is disco dancing... there's a disco ball and everything - check out that video here.

If you see someone on - like either me (Forrest - TubeBear profile) or Frank, make sure to send us a RIM to say hello.

There is so much going on over at TubeBear, I don't know where to start... ok I do know where to start - read this.

First off - make a regular profile (join), add tons of pictures (of yourself), a bit of description (who you are, what you like) and then you will be able to see everyone else's profile. We have now past 5000 profiles. You will also be able to see all the photos in everyone else's galleries.

Are you ready to broadcast?

Right now you can have your own TubeBear webcam page. It's easy - the instructions are all right here. Essentially you need a fast connection, a pretty good computer, a webcam and you're set. Just download and install Flash Media Encoder (2.29mb) then follow the  step-by-step instructions on the page mentioned above (here). Once you have everything in place, email us or use the contact form to tell us you're ready to broadcast, and we will start promoting your webcam page.

You webcam will look like this and hopefully soon you will be able to configure your own page. But who's really come to look at what the website looks like... the guys will be coming to see you.
