Here are a couple google searches that return open webcams: 1, 2. You might suspect there is something interesting in there, although my quick look through the results was pretty uninteresting. Finding unusual key words to plug into google searches is very interesting though. The result of having the entire internet indexed is difficult to predict.
These searches work, obviously, because webcams create similarly constructed URLs for their feeds, so searching on the non unique portions of those URLs using the inurl: advanced search technique finds lots of webcams, whether their owners wanted this or not. Simple. Clever.
(Already forgot where I saw this.)
Oh right, from Boing Boing. And here's more.
Wow, I can watch goats in Japan.
