09/10/2003 Archived Entry: "Lobster Cam back on-line"

Midcoast Internet Solutions is proud to announce the famous "Lobster Cam" is back online, this time with its own domain name, www.thelobstercam.com. The original lobster cam was featured by NBC's "Today" show, and was considered for the Discovery Channel's list of "Animal Planet" web cams. The latest incarnation of the web cam has been featured on comedy writer Dave Barry's website.

"The Lobster Cam has taken on a life of its own" said MIS company spokesperson Bill Batty, Jr. "The original idea came from the Lobster Institute, to study the daily life and workings of a lobster trap. When the original cam went offline, we had many emails asking when we were going to bring it back. The new lobster cam features an updated camera and uploading system, as well as highly potent chemoceptor charged bait. The result is a very lively trap. You'll almost always see something alive and moving around in there."

Since its inception, the Lobster Cam website has taken over 1 1/2 million hits.
