webcam or web cam?

One word or two?

Which one is correct? which is most commonly used?

personally I use webcam

Update:

I think the only problem is when searching, e.g. on here asking for webcam driver problems returns different results to web cam driver problems..

joe.. think about what you have been missing all this time searching for web cam when you should have used webcam! :p

    its webcam. However, if you are going to use the language rules then it is web cam. Maybe we could ask Webster to legalize webcam as a new word.
