  Encyclopedia: Jennifer Ringley   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Ringley installed a webcam in her college dorm room, and provided images from that cam on a webpage.
Ringley states that the site was an attempt to document her life.
Aside from her net-celebrity status as the one of the first persons to use a webcam in the manner described here, she also was known for a scandal in which she had sexual intercourse with the fiance, Dex, of her friend Courtney.

 Curtains in the bedroom -- JenniCam switches off
Jennifer Ringley, who now lives in the Sacramento area, became a digital phenom when she installed a Web camera in her Pennsylvania college dorm room in early 1996 and created a Web site, www.jennicam.com.
Maybe it was the fact that Ringley didn't mind sitting in from of her PC topless, strolling across the room wearing nothing but a towel on her head or even rolling around the sheets with her boyfriend, never pausing to cover up the lens.
Ringley insisted the money she made from subscriptions was just used to pay the Internet service provider bill and other expenses related to the site, and did not raise a profit.

While Ringley publicly claims that a new anti-nudity policy enforced by Paypal was the proximate cause of the shutdown, it is likely that the roots lay much deeper, in her own inward awareness that the world, for better or worse, had changed irrevocably.
Jennifer Ringley shut down the Jennicam on New Years Day, 2004, and this event did not go unnoticed by the major media.
While Ringley has apparently disappeared completely from cyberspace (an e-mail I sent her requesting information about her current status was not responded to), it is too early to say whether her self-imposed invisibility is permanent, a phase that she's now going through, or something that she's planned for a long time.

 jennicam   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
JenniCam was a popular website with the main feature being a webcam allowing internet users to observe the life of Jennifer Ringley.
The site was started in April of 1996 as a part of a school project when Ringley was a junior in college.
The site was closed permanently on December 31, 2003, possibly because PayPal had dropped her as their customer because her website featured full-frontal nudity.

 Biography for Jennifer Ringley   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Ringley and her little webcams even served as the inspiration for several movies, including Edtv and The Truman Show, and arguably the popularity of reality shows can indirectly be traced to her "Jennicam" as well.
Despite that, Ringley doggedly continued to live a relatively normal life, and apparently had little interest in using the webcam fame to broker a career as an actress -- her film and television roles were limited to a single guest appearance on a TV show, playing a Jennifer Ringley type character.
After years of sharing her life with the planet, Ringley shut down the "Jennicam" on New Year's Day of 2004, and her private life became private for the first time since she was in college.

On her final day as a pioneering internet celebrity, Jennifer Ringley got up some time after 7.30am, used her computer for a while at around 1.15pm, had something to eat at 6.15pm, and then went out for the evening.
So it was clearly not the promise of ceaseless excitement that brought hundreds of millions of web users to her site, which since 1996 has broadcast a live, unedited, 24-hour chronicle of her life from cameras in her flat.
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.

The truth is a little immaterial: the attention Jennifer was to garner with the installation of a colour camera would have gotten the College's attention quick smart.
It was around this time that Jennifer got involved in a spirited discussion with APC staffers over a review we published of the site, which she claimed forced her to shut it down.
The site went down again earlier this year, allegedly because Jennifer had been receiving threats from misguided individuals who either a) couldn't find the Cam on the Net, or b) were a little over-stimulated after viewing Jennifer in whatever state she happened to be in.

 CNN.com - Voyeur Web site JenniCam to go dark - Dec. 10, 2003
While Ringley did not provide a reason on the site or respond to an e-mail query Tuesday afternoon, it appears that her undressing may be her undoing.
While MTV's Real World was already a TV hit and on the Internet personal journals were popping up and porn companies were early adopters of Web cameras for live action, "Jenni," as she was affectionately known to netizens, was one of the first to turn the camera on herself in an online social experiment.
Ringley, a self-described former computer geek who works at a non-profit social service agency in the Sacramento, California, area, says in her mission statement that she wanted to create a "window into a virtual human zoo."

Ringley attached a web cam to her home PC and wrote some software that would make the web cam take a picture every few seconds and upload it to a website.
By word of mouth, and e-mail, Ringley’s new web identity grew fame – she soon became the proprietor of JenniCam.org.
In an interview with CNN, Ringley said the reason why she created the site was “to prove the point that no matter what you looked like, you’re still just as interesting as people on the TV or in the magazine.” (

Started in 1996 by 20-year-old Jennifer Ringley, then a student in Pennsylvania, America, Jennicam was billed as an "experiment".

Created in 1996 by a then 20-year-old college student named Jennifer Ringley, the website specialized in what were then novelties -- webcams (video cameras that continuously upload to the World Wide Web), Internet Relay Chats (IRCs or "chatrooms") and on-line journals (now called "blogs") -- all of which were focused on "Jenni" herself.
Ringley had no discernible talents, wasn't really beautiful and didn't have anything interesting to say.
In 1997, Ringley realized that she could be making a fortune off of "Jennicam" and eventually started using PayPal, an on-line payment service, to charge a $15 subscription fee for one year of access to her site.

 Navigating the Image of Woman Online   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
One could theorize Ringley's feminist status in her obvious control over the presentation of her own image online and her control of what her male viewers are able to gaze.
Ringley herself asserts her own outlook as one which embraces womanhood: "Personally, I think any woman who says she'd prefer to be a man, or any man who says he's happier being a man, is foolish.
As Ringley's site suggests, women attempting to re-image themselves often have little encouragement from mass culture to produce resistance discourse and often are positioned as both complicit with and resistant to their traditional subject position as an object of desire.

Before Ringley's Internet debut, such Web antics were not common and, by 1997, Ringley had enough visitors to justify a $15 annual subscriber service (the fee-based membership offered a faster video-refresh rate than the free service).
Amid the hoopla, Ringley continued to endear herself to millions of Web users seemingly enthralled with how utterly normal her life seemed to be.
Ringley's impact on popular culture is significant because she created the ability "to become a micro-celebrity," says Halcyon, who in 2000 founded an experimental Web cam community -- the now-defunct Citizen X -- and also spent two years living in a Web cam-equipped house.

Jennifer Kaye Ringley is responsible for the highest number of hits on am article on APC's Web site, period.
Earlier this year, APC reviewed Jennifer's home page, 90 Degrees from Everywhere, and the accompanying JenniCam site -- a non-stop glimpse of what Jennifer was up to in her bedroom, updated every three minutes -- was kept partially secret by only telling its URL to those people that signed up to Jennifer's mailing list.
In keeping with the spirit of Jennifer's wish, APC didn't publish the address of the Cam itself; we assumed that any enterprising individual could find it for themselves with a little bit of detective work.
