  The End of JenniCam : The end of WWWeb 1.0 @ Radio Free Blogistan
I visited JenniCam back in the days when you did not have to pay and she was in college.
JenniCam's memes are the millions of blogs, dead and alive, that people like you and me start because we have something to share with the world.
JenniCam and the millions of people going to her site for the last 7 years proved how important browsers were.

Jennicam brings back fond memories of when people were doing what seemed like the unthinkable here on the Web.
I never found her attractive nor was her life (or taste in furniture) all that interesting to me. But you got to give her credit for being a "pioneer" of sorts.

 I'd rather be watching JenniCam
JenniCAM defines itself as a real-time look into the real life of a young woman, and as an undramatized diary for public viewing via internet.
The wide open, staring eyes of JenniCAM is probably the most interesting and attracting thing about it - the nakedness of the expression, like pure gazing - in the assymetrical medium of the panopticon.
The traditional panopticon idea is inverted as the "prisoner" has become the eye of power, and as the power of the eye operates as seducer and not as controller.

 JENNICAM AND THE TRUMAN SHOW
I first became aware of Jennicam when passing by a TV showing the "Leeza" show with Ringley and her parents as guests.
When she is "on-camera" she looks just like somebody designing a web page with all the bored, befuddled and anguished looks any of us might have sitting at a computer six to twelve hours a day.
Both ideas borrow heavily from the idea of the early films of Andy Warhol, where it is interesting in itself to view one person or landscape for the purity of the experience, or for the voyeuristic thrill.

 Terry Teachout on JenniCam on National Review Online
Here's a sign of the times: JenniCam, the site on which you can view real-time video of life inside Jenni Ringley's bedroom, is shutting down on December 31 after more than seven years "on the air" (or whatever the properly postmodern term for webcasting is).
The JenniCam phenomenon is a unique example of how cyberspace addresses such needs for belonging and the social affirmation of self.
JenniCam was, of course, nothing more than a hula-hoop-type fad, but seven years ago the web itself was still something of a giant-sized hula-hoop, in much the same way as was television circa 1948.

Accordingly, I decided that as long as we didn't publish the JenniCam address, and made it clear that it wasn't for publication, the site was too interesting to pass up.
But as the author of a lame personal page myself, I could appreciate how it would feel to be forced to close a Web creation down, so I decided it was only fair to at least give Jennifer the ranting opportunity she craved.
As far as I was concerned, the most interesting thing about JenniCam was this huge contradiction between the cam activity and the demands for privacy attached to it.

What’s especially ironic is that the proximate cause of the demise seems to be paypal’s refusal to process payments to Jennicam, on the grounds that it broadcast nudity.

This 21-year-old Web designer is the creator, proprietor, and subject of the JenniCam, a camera in her bedroom that's connected to the Net, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.
But she insists that the JenniCam is less about naked pictures and more about real life as performance art.

For her fans, there will be no more viewings of Ms Ringley slumped in front of the TV, doting on her countless pets, idly plaiting her hair, pottering around her house or sauntering naked between rooms.
For a brief spell in the late 90s, Jennicam was the most talked about site on the embryonic internet.
Yet the bulk of Jennicam's output was more mundane - especially since Jenni herself now has a full-time job out of the home.

Jenni of JenniCam is one of the most famous figures on the net, even if her fame is waning as of late.
She was one of the first, if not the first, people to set up a webcam in the privacy of her own home and broadcast her daily life to internet viewers.
At first, JenniCam must have profited from the novelty of webcams and their role in the shrinkage and reshaping of private and personal spaces.

One of the darlings of the Web and a pioneer of electronic exhibitionism -- Jenni of JenniCam fame -- is turning off the lights after seven years.
Jennifer Ringley, 27, became a quasi-celebrity when she installed video cameras in her room at Dickinson College in Pennsylvania in April 1996 and launched JenniCam.org.
"I keep JenniCam alive not because I want or need to be watched, but because I simply don't mind being watched," she wrote.

 Slashdot | JenniCam Closing After 7+ Years
The vast majority of the time I caught it, it was either her at her computer or out of the house or her cat on her computer chair or some crap.
Jennicam came out in the "frontier" days of the Internet - a time where the general public didn't know what a URL was, before "camwhore" was a word, before the corporate world started to use it as a marketing tool.
A whole industry of webcam portals, from Jennicam to Stile Project's old cam portals back in the 90's(which evolved into camwhores.com) to the huge sites that are out there now have really changed a lot of how porn works.

 IngentaConnect A CAMERA WITH A VIEW JenniCAM, visual representation, and cyborg ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Hailed as the originator of the digital camera 'homecam' phenomenon, Jennifer Ringley has garnered national media attention for her website, JenniCAM (Ringley 1998c), which offers viewers a constant window into the bedroom of a young woman through internet technology.
Using the JenniCAM website as my primary text, I examine how Jenni integrates flesh and machine in the formation and display of a cyborg subjectivity, a hybridized identity (re)presented through the new technology of the digital camera.
JenniCAM reveals cultural tensions surrounding epistemological conceptions of vision, gender, and identity and raises questions for future conversations regarding the role of technology in the representation and construction of gendered subjects.

 JenniCam - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
JenniCam (or JenniCAM) was a popular website whose main feature was several webcams that allowed Internet users to observe the life of a young woman, Jennifer Kaye Ringley (born 10 August 1976).
JenniCam was one of the first web sites that continuously and voluntarily surveyed a private life.
This continued until an incident occurred wherein she received an email demanding that she do a "show," and after she refused, JenniCam was hacked and Ringley received death threats.

 washingtonpost.com: Final Days in the Life At Jennicam
Ringley, more famous as the woman behind Jennicam (www.jennicam.org), became an Internet curiosity and a quasi-celebrity in the early days of the Web by putting up cameras around her apartment and letting anyone with an Internet connection tune in at any hour for a $15 annual subscription.
Canadian Jennicam fan Paul Brown told The Post in an e-mail Friday that he was sad to see Jennicam close.
At the peak of Jennicam's popularity, around the turn of the millennium, Ringley told The Post that her site got an average of 100 million visitors a week.

The internet is full of one hit wonders, those quickly propagating, quickly disappearing memes like the hamster dance or the I kiss you guy, and when jennicam first took off, it probably looked that way too, but jenni has persisted.
Jennicam is a 24/7 webcam run by Jennifer Ringley who, assuming she doesn't make enough money off of subscriptions to her site, also works as a web design type person, unsurprisingly.

While cultural commentators thrashed out the point of observing, for entertainment, ordinary people doing ordinary things (sound familiar?), Jenni was invited on to the David Letterman Show and featured in a modern art exhibit.
Undoubtedly, the challenge for many of her admirers was to catch Jenni in a state of undress, or even having sex.
The demise of Jennicam has been blamed on the online payment service Paypal, which used to process payments by subscribers.

 Ghost Sites of the Web: Where Dead Sites Live On... Where Web Disasters Are Still Fresh: 05/19/04
Feminist academics wrote that the Jennicam represented a "complex dialectic between woman as subject and woman as object, woman as both consumer and consumed." Others placed the Jennicam in the pantheon of Conceptual Art, a genre pioneered in the early 1970's by such artists as Sol Lewitt and Gilbert and George.
Incredibly, the word "Jennicam" was at one point a more popular search term on Slashdot.org than "Linux." (When this fact became known among porn vendors, the use of the term "Jennicam" became a widespread Metatag-based scam used to lure fans of the Jennicam to hard-core porn sites.
But mention the term "Jennicam" to anyone today outside of Media Studies departments, and you are likely to receive as many blank stares as you'd get by mentioning "Moxie" or Burma-Shave, or LaSalle.

 End of Jennicam - www.smh.com.au
Visitors with nothing better to do than watch her cameras for hours on end occasionally caught sight of her naked, which contravened PayPal's regulations and forced closure of the site last week, Ms Ringley reported in an email sent to subscribers said.
Jennicam was established, initially as a college project, to "provide a window into a virtual human zoo", Ms Ringley wrote at the time.
Ms Ringley took her cameras with her as she moved from Pennsylvania to Washington DC, and on to California, where she reportedly works for a social services agency.

 Sunclad/ NIFOC Issue 23.2
However, at the end of December, JenniCam came to an end when Ringley’s fee-processing service, PayPal, exercised its terms of service muscle and closed her account because her Web site presented occasional nudity.
Aside from JenniCam I understand that at least one naturist site was also caught up in the recent PayPal sweep and has had to seek another service for transferring funds to help maintain its Web site.
JenniCam had nothing to do with naturism, but its demise is a loud “bang” that we should all have heard and one that we should all be concerned about.
