JenniCam Closing After 7+ Years
An anonymous Jenni fan writes "Details are sketchy, but apparently within the past few days, JenniCam has announced that it is closing permanently on New Year's Eve. Jenni Ringley has run the site for over 7 and a half years and was even voted more popular than Linus in a ZDNet poll. Of course, such constant exposure has had its downsides; she has received death threats in the past. Last chance to check out that Slashbox while her life is still online."
...what better way to say goodby than giving her server a good ole fashioned slashdotting.
The secret of success is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake those, you've got it made. (Marx)
I think this calls for a moment of silence, or something. No, I really mean it. This was one of our first chances to see the true potential of the internet - for good and for bad. It spawned camwhores of all varieties and gave rise to a new kind of voyeurism. Goodbye to a pioneer.
Who didn't know about this site OR care when they heard about it?
OK
:-)
webcrawler starts to suck
altavista goes static
google has problems with retricting searches (until recently try getting info on baseball in the UK!), bloggers etc
napster goes legit (but available only in the USofA)
MP3.com get bought by C-NEt and all the content 'gets lost'
now Jenni-cam is to be no more
well that's it, I'm off to desert to eat sand, the internet is dead
Um... I think she'll be closing sooner than that once we get through /.ing her.
All this time, I could have had her webcam appear whenever I visited Slashdot. Even the guest gallery (there's also a paid members only gallery) is loaded with full nudity and "playing". Even during the past week. Live news and live porn all in the same place. Too bad it'll be over after this month.
On the other hand, perhaps Jenny's subscriptions were dropping as creepy men were finding other girls' webcams to ogle. Maybe Jenny realized that her extended 15 minutes of fame are finally up. No disrespect though. She certainly seems to have garnered all the attention she could from a webcam.
Remember the coffee cam? Now that was cool. Wasn't it at MIT?
*
troll blacklist. Please mo
SUYT Jenni!
...but there's always DarlCam.
She must be too old to be a cam girl now. Assuming she was at least 18 when she started it, she's gotta be at least 25 now.
JenniCam isn't closing, it's just changing name to reflect the fact that Jenni is getting ripe. Here are the official domain names she'll use in the future:
- PreggyCam.org
- MommyCam.org
- MenopausyCam.org
- NannyCam.org
- CoffinCam.org
"A door is what a dog is perpetually on the wrong side of" - Ogden Nash
...when she dissed her best friend who helped her move in next door by nabbing her fiance. Well, actually that was interesting but it turned into a long-term relationship. Dex just makes my skin crawl and the cam and journal got really boring after that. I mean, there's only so much gardening crap a person can read about. It was more interesting before she settled down. I think I've checked the cam like four times in the last year...
Make cheese not war 8:)
that saw this article and started to hear Forest yell "Don't go Jennay"
We don't need no stinking sig!
I've had a JenniCam Slashbox for years and as days went by I've seen her her progressively fatter and fatter until she became the queen of cellulite that she is today. I mean, you see her exercise on the cam and whatnot. I wonder what happened. She isn't old or anything. How do you let yourself go like that?
I'm taking Denis Leary's advice. First morning I wake up and I can't see my dick, I stop eating!
linus of snoopy or linus of linux fame?
whoever she is.. shes not that popular for i doubt that most of the slashdot crowd had ever heard of her.
While Jenni is mildly attractive, there are far more sexier and interesting camgirls out there. My favourite at the moment is Mercatur, a mid-twenties web designer.
;-)
Unlike Jenni, she is actually an interesting writer. She tackles wide-ranging and amusing subjects like why girls should only sleep with computer geeks (link) to advice on how to give good head to a guy (link).
She is also extremely cute. And single, I believe
Oh, no, wait, that's a nightmare I had. Same night I had the 24 hour Tubgirl channel dream, now I think about it.
I think what you mean is:
"She's turned into a real woman with curves."
Dunstan - I can't get over a girl like you, so you'll have to turn the light off yourself.
The last scintilla of doubt just rode out of town
The goatse man announced that, after revolting an entire generation of net users, he was taking his fingers out of his bottom and looking forward to a well-earned sit down. "Frankly, it's hard to find sponsorship these days as all my visitors appear to come from a geek discussion site and leave again within 5 seconds. My fingers are also starting to get cramp and I've been advised that any stools I pass in future may not be accommodated by a standard 4-inch waste pipe", he added.
When I am king, you will be first against the wall.
If for nothing else, without you there would never have been Camwhores!
The ending of any era that involves tens of thousands of grainy photos of a butt ugly anti-depressant-popping bisexual camwhore can only be a good thing, guys..
at their computer lab not MIT. It was known just as the Internet Coffeee Pot, a webcam on a filter coffee machine. I believe a German publishing house bought the original pot.
See my journal, I write things there
It's about time that "No Fat Camgirls" amendment went into effect...
Maybe not to you, but to Joe Public it does. In fact, the preponderance of webcams may have had something to do with the rise in popularity of reality TV. Here in the UK, we get Fame Academy, Big Brother, Celebrity Big Brother, and a slew of tedious TV shows that someone must be watching for them to stay on air. Maybe the majority of Slashdotters are just too cynical to be swayed by that sort of thing, but there are plenty of people who are convinced other peoples lives are somehow better than their own, and therefore worthy of viewing.
So long, and thanks for all the fish :-P

I suspect it has something to do with the fact that it's been, well, 7 years. She undoubtedly started past the age of 18, so at the very least, she's 25. More likely, she's closer to 30. What'd you expect, an aging woman to display her body indefinately? I think not.
When was the last time you heard of a 30-year-old porn star? That's functionally what she is, though she doesn't make a habit of actively showing her body, and is more actively showing her mind - pr0n for geeks, I guess. She actively pimps the image of her body and life.
~/ssh slashdot.org ssh: connect to host slashdot.org port 22: too many beers
Jennicam the concept, maybe, not the person. Though there's got to be the plot for a horror story in there - someone decides to stop their popular webcam, only to find that the webcam keeps transmitting, showing someone her walking around her flat doing her usual things. Except that said person is there when Jenni herself isn't..
[not a troll seriously!]
I've never heard of JenniCam. Is that just me or does this Jenni person run in different circles than say the nerds/academics that the average OSS developer runs in?
No news here people, move to the next article.
Someday, I'll have a real sig.
... at least the site is slashdotted :)
Never underestimate the relief of true separation of Religion and State.
am I the only one on the Internet who has never heard of this woman?
You've never gone to your preference page to configure the slashboxes?
Suggest you try it - there's some interesting stuff in there! Not just her.
is because she is the original cam girl. well probably not the first, but the first known to setup a cam, and let it run 24/7 showing everything she did. you could say she started a trend. i never thought she was good looking, but you got to give her credit. she gets an idea for a project, goes through with it, and keeps it going for 7 and a half years.
most of us dont mind being seen on cam, or on the web, but just imagine a cam on you 24/7 for 7 and a half years, in the bathroom/kitchen/bedroom/living room, all over the place. plus she probably made descent money doing it, not counting all the equipment people donated, and what not over the years. give the girl some credit.

Damn dyslexic fingers....
In (1999) I think, I went to a JenniCon. It was fun. She had a timeshare place in Virginia. There were about 14 people there. All the other guys were crashing on the floor of her timeshare -- I rented a place on the other side of the complex.
She's just a gen-Y pothead. (She and her then boyfriend smoked Pot the whole time, and didn't offer us any. I finally got her to pass me the bong and TreeH got nervous in case they saw me doing it on the cam).
I think she was part of some national psychological program to profile us Internet Whackos. Whatever. I was there.
The site's been undead for years, stumbling around muttering "brains, brains" and bumping into shit. 99% of the time the camera's focused on an empty blue chair. It all went downhill when she stole her "friend's" fiancee and boinked him on camera.
Back in the day, I whored many a domain name.
.ORG -- She was so outraged to find pr0n banners she quickly fired off an email to webmaster@npr.COM complaining about the pr0n. I laughed really hard when I found that in the e-mail catchall. I wrote her back and told her to donate to NPR so we didn't have to continue to put up pr0n banners.
.COM names now point at the expected places. :)
Among others, I controled NPR.com and jennicam.com
Jennicam was at Jennicam.ORG
One night Jenni was interviewed on letterman and the traffic to the jennicam.com webpage spiked. We put up pr0n banners and an giant headline saying "Jenni is behind one of these banners" -- Those banners generated several thousand bucks. I doubt the users ever found the jenni they were looking for, but they sure clicked.
One user heard about all this jennicam business on NPR and went to jennicam.COM instead of
Aaah jennicam. That stupid whore. NPR and jennicam
...and now she's closing down the website. :(
Maybe it's just me. Slashdot ought to have an SCO Slashbox.
...I guess Cats will give back all our base next.
At the New York Internet World in Fall of '99, Handspring officially announced their first product - the Visor handheld. On the other side of the exhibition hall, some dot com had Jenni there signing autographs. Judging by the line she had, you'd think that she had usurped all of the attention from Handspring. Everyone wanted to meet her. Of course I wanted on line and got her autograph, too! I couldn't resist.
There goes my social life!
Real women have curves. This can be true. But that doesn't mean they have to look like Budda.
When the desire to rub a woman's belly for luck is more powerful than the desire to rub a woman's belly for a chance at getting lucky, she may well be more woman, but she's not more womanly.
The only difference between a fat chick and eunich is, given enough alchohol, a fat chick can get laid.
I guess JenniCam had its time and place. Now we can occupy ourselves with Paris Hiltonand Pamela Anderson leaked footage.
Are we disguising adverts as articles now even for Camwhores who will go offline in a few days?
This is a new low in slashdot advertising.
Pantscam is still here!

I'll be glad to give it a moment of silence when shows like Big Brother and Survivor are finally gone.
Now, wouldn't that be an excellent /. function ... When a "sad" story is posted, noone can post a comment for the first 2 minutes ..

Hee, hee ... I just love the wtf, she must be , like, 27 or even 30 now! Of course she has to quit! posts ...
Yes, egads, how could a 27-30 year old woman possibly be attractive? :o
Hmm, maybe I should just be glad that there is a whole segment of the population too stupid to give me any competition ;)
Of course it was chocolate cake goddammit!!!

Thank god we've still got the thrill-a-minute continental drift cam.
Much more intelligent. And more exciting.

Pete.In the CNN link posted above (which was written when the site was online for three years), there's an interesting quote in lieu of the site about to go offline:
Ringley says she will keep the site going indefinitely -- "I can't imagine any situation which would cause me to want to" take it down.
Ironic huh?

Boy this gives me the shivers. Jennicam, who doen't now this? I got in internet dialup account about 8 1/2 years ago. My life changed at the moment that I clicked the dial button. Information explotion overload, internet rocks. I tried to look at everything that catched my attention. The only sad thing is. Many things came quickly but also went away quickly. A lot of nice sites have died or floating around like they are lost in space. Does anybody remember some good old 'classic' bookmarks Internet became and is my life.
7:52am? Still sounds asleep? Must be nice :P
Any chance of a slashdot interview by way of a farewell?
7 years online huh? Is the shutdown perhaps due to Jenni getting on a bit and starting to sag here and there?
To think, JenniCam was probably the first site I surfed left-handed...
but I always thought this camwhore crap to be nothing but poop. When I first herd of jennycam was right after it opened up. I took one look and realized how interested lonely people and perverts were going to be. Fact being, I never really found her attractive nor interesting.
Now we have all this other voyeur crap like Big Brother and other such reality BS I could choke. Anyhow... birth of a new fad? And hopefully the death of one too.
i cant seem to come up with a sig.
I mean, I know that sounds mean, but it's kind of an 'interesting to some, though not all, bored American kids' thing rather than an 'interesting in general' thing, isn't it?
I guess there was a generation that only discovered the internet about the time webcams came along, and to that generation maybe webcams are the stuff of sentimentality.
Whence? Hence. Whither? Thither.
I would have to say that I could not give a rat's ass about the JenniCam. Sorry, but who cares about looking into someone's life...that is, unless you don't have one of your own.
I remember hearing about JenniCam on the commercial of one of those talk shows...I can't remember which RickiLakeOperaTrailerTrash show it was. Ahh..like it was yesterday...still...who gives a F#%*
Jenni...here is to 7.5 years of wasted bandwidth!
Jenni, I've got your number,
I need to make you mine,
Jenni, don't change your number:
64.141.14.2 (Chorus) 64.141.14.2!
I keep seeing how people expound on the blog "movement" and how it's an important vehicle of social change and commentary, and while I know that's probably all hooey, I couldn't think of an equivelent phenomonononon until now - webcams. As someone said, everyone and their sister had a webcam, you could watch webcams of people's pets, but eventually they died out or became porn sites.
So how long until the entire internet is one big porn site?
Skippy
There are TONS of sights out there, amatuer and professional with women well over 30, 40 and 50. Have you completely missed the MILF phenomenon? Mothers I'd Like to Fuck? What about the amaturer wife websites? The Mature websites for older ladies? Wetlands.com is full of them. Jesus.
What are you stuck in some immature mind loop that cannot see any woman over 30 as attractive? Are you going to be hunting for 25yr and younger girls for the rest of your life? How sad if so.

I'm sure Jenni's got more sense than that. You really should see "The Simple Life" on Fox. It's just hillarious.
Yea..I think I still have...people check it out! My world is out there too
You haven't lived until you loaded your program over a teletype on a long roll of yellow punch tape, which you had to do at a certain time of day so you could have your precious 0.0003 seconds of main frame time. Only to have the tape break half-way through loading. Cassettes were a vast improvement. You know you've been in the business a long time if your first computer kit was named KIM I.

whitearyanresistance.com, org and net! First time I ever got death threats running a website.
Oh the fun to have a random perl redirect script in there. When people would go to whitearyanresistance.com.org, or net they would get redirected to blacksonblondes.com, algore2000.com, NAMBLA and other fun sites.
It was redirecting them to the Southern Poverty Law Center that really sent them over edge though.
2600 has done some neat stuff too.... fuckcbs.com, etc
...Jenni is killed by a sentient houseboat, I'll be really interested. Otherwise, blah.
shouldn't that be 86.7.53.09? Wait, that's reserved... nm :-)
I mean, I know that sounds mean, but it's kind of an 'interesting to some, though not all, bored American kids' thing rather than an 'interesting in general' thing, isn't it?
Yes, but is it "Stuff that matters?"
Oh how sad a world it is when they mourn for a camwhore.
Flash forward to now. I know the function of every key on the keyboard in command mode, and use most of them instinctively. I can barely use notepad now, because when I want to make a change I instinctively reach for the Esc key. And I'm starting to get really spoiled on syntax coloring (including writing my own syntax files for formats that don't already have them) and folding.
The advantage becomes blatantly obvious when one of my coworkers is hanging arond my desk, and suddenly a massive edit just *happens*, leaving them wondering how (usually this involves macros, since a vim macro is defined by 2 keystrokes and executed by 2 keystrokes, making the fact that I'm creating one almost invisible). When you type at over 80WPM, the time involved with reaching for a mouse starts feeling pretty painful.
Vim is rather like a tall mesa. It's hell to climb, but the view from the top is amazing.
Hardware, software, and blinking lights!
Good riddance to it and her. The net needs less garbage like this.
It wasn't just localized around computer geeks. There were newspaper articles, magazine articles, spots on news. It got a lot of press. It was a semi-large thing that someone would live their life with a webcam recording their daily activities for the whole world to see. This was before weblogs, before "reality" telivision. It was a fairly new idea.
Not everything is analogous to cars. Car analogies rarely work.
Hundreds of posts thus far, and absolutely NO one has thought to email her or give her a call to find out why she's closing it down? I'm going to drop her an email, and we'll see what response I get back.
CowboyNeal, let's get on the interview thing. Definately a must-have.
Best of luck, Jenni.
we see things not as as they are, but as we are.

And, yes, I was one of the ones who thoguh she was cute. Still do, too. :D
Good-bye, Jenni.
I'm not surprised by it closing, I'm more surprised that it was still going! Sort of like a sci-fi movie where they find dinosaurs still living in some remote jungle valley.

Jenni was definately a "pioneer." I believe she was the first person to do the 24/7 homecam thing in a serious way. And I think her existance helped to drive a lot of reality-based entertainment, including influencing the writers of "The Truman Show". She also was an early blogger.
My wife and I worked with her to produce "The Jennishow," a series of streaming video shows about her crazy life, which changed the course of our company, and without it there never would have been a "Geeks in Space" Slashdot radio show.
We had a lot of fun filming "The Jennishow," including going for a ride in a private plane of a fan, JenniCon with the "top fans", and another fan leading us to the house at the end of the Blair Witch Project. It was a trip!
Will nobody volunteer to archive the hours and hours of Jennicam footage? We're losing a valuable piece of our digital history.

Looking back, she reminds me of Sarah St-James. Girl-next-door looks that trip your sensor array, but don't explode it. Cute.
I stopped visiting her site the day her picture archive and pretty much anything of interest became a paying subscribtion. Maybe now would be a good time to make everything open-access, as a farewell gift to all, during the last month of operation?

I'm happy to say that Courtney is a lot better off these days, IMHO.
She was at Netscape at the same time I was.
Jenni moved to the suburbs of Sacramento, got fat & out of shape, and ended up picking up an office job with the County. heh.
I can't recall the name, but Jenni was *not* the "first camgirl" - but she's probably the first that charged $$$ for it.
But Linus is so much cuuuuuuter!
This guy is a well known troll/jackass. You weren't coming off as elitest. He always comes off as the asshole he is.
Taking more of a look around her site, I can't see anywhere where she actually claims to be a web dev.
;)
A couple of personal web pages != being a web developer... Whatever horny wannabe nerds want to believe about a slightly geeky looking chick with a webcam. So, my apologies for disecting skills I can't find her ever claiming to have.
On the other hand, she is in California and she is begging for money - which pretty much fits the profile of most genuine web devs out here right now.
More like 9600. And when someone told me they had access to one through their university, I told them it was impossible. Nothing was that fast. I was in hog heaven when I went to 300 baud. To get to compuserve I had to dial a local datapac # (for 40 bucks a month) and then connect to compuserve through that (for another 40).
First mouse I saw, I flipped over and used like a trackball. Felt pretty stupid afterwards.
I can still remember 6502 assembly - I used to make cards for the apple. I really like boot tracing disks - that was a riot. Copy the code from the drive controller down into ram, then change the jump out point. Run it, and it would load the first sector of the disk in, then you could trace it, and get it's jump point. All the time, the people writing the copy protection would be fighting that (self modifying code, etc)
I hated tapes. I hated punch cards. I have a daisy wheel printer that weighs at least 150 pounds right behind me now.
I used to visit Jennicam. I will miss that.
Make it so
(Sounds definitely much better than,
Make it so, Fuzzybunny.)
. . . and I was looking forward to spending my autumn years watching her take out her teeth at night, and changing her "adult daipers" - but I guess camwhoring is a sport for the young.

Where are webcam sluts these days? Not the whores, I'm talking about the ones who give it up for free.
Right next to easy venture capital and totally vacant business plans, just behind the internet pet-food store and the internet toenail-clipper store. Across the street from any prospect whatsoever of getting a job.
I tell ya, man, it's not just the corporations who've stopped giving it up for free.

Ah, yes...I remember hearing about Jennicam back in the day. I even visited there a couple of times, but I wasn't impressed with the empty chair, nor did I have the attention span to wait for that one flash of boobie, and the same pretty much goes for all camwhores.
That is why I was most surprised a couple of weeks ago when I VNC'd into a co worker's laptop set up at her house to troubleshoot a router problem I was having and saw a pair of boobs on my monitor. It turns out that while my co worker was here at work, her sister has borrowed the laptop and was showing off her assets to a Yahoo chatroom and had the cam preview window convieniently open.
It was the coolest thing that has ever happened to me, especially since it was during the normal course of mundane systems administration. I mean, there I was troubleshooting a crypto map and *bam* 20 year old boobs delivered to my doorstep. It almost makes me wish my routers would freak out more often.

i sell illegal drugs
Appearently:
PPAA (Pornographical Picture Association of America), a division of MPAA, decided that jennicam.com is stealing profits from paid, famous stars by providing inferior content at a lower price. Thus, the site has to go down.
I was listening to an archived version of "This Americal Life" the other day recorded in 1997 called "Tales From the Net". In it they described the weird reaches of this new Internet thing, including Jennifer Ringley. It all sounded so weird then and they responded with such incredulity:
"What?!? You mean you just have this camera going all the time?!? And its -not- necessarily all about sex?"
It was as if it were some sort of big joke that only they appreciated.
Now, when cams are as ubiquitous as teenaged girls with problems, I wonder if they were...
Just what is so fucking interesting watching reality tv shows? They try to make it interesting with one party trying to badmouth the next(i.e. "So what do you think of Sasha?").
I don't know why people like it, but people like my bro absolutely love "american idol", "joe blow", "911", "bachelor"(in canada), etc. My bro isn't the 'regular joe'(he's pretty smart), but something of those shows appeals to him. I for one, cannot sit through any reality tv.
Real life is boring, I like to watch more interesting shows such as CSI(amazing drama).

Man, where is the story and drama of shows these days?
...as I would certainly welcome that news!!!
While it may have spawned innumerable teenage imitators, one fortunate side-effect of the JenniCam is the FatCam the webcam that allows you to track the daily intake of junk food consumed by the developers at Troika Games.
I love the Internet...
So when is Linus gonna set up a cam and get naked while coding some kernel schedulers? Can I buy him stuff from his wishlist while I read his blog about libc calls
Better Linus than Ballmer!

Do You really want to start that kind of arms race?
That's okay, because then:
In Soviet Russia, all your base are still belong to us!
Now when the soviet russia effect goes out, start panicking. But the real meltdown happens if somebody can prove that 42 is NOT the answer to life, the universe, and everything.

Ah, 1995, I remember it well . . .
I was working for this company that soon became a synonym for a hightech sweatshop: Stream. And one of their clients was called Netscape. Yes, _that_ Netscape.
I joined the team supporting Netscape about a month before they released NS 1.2 -- the one you could buy in the stores bundled with Eudora, some crummy 3rd-party TCPIP stack, & the Shiva dialer. Talk about going from the light into darkness with one step: one week, almost every other call I handle is from someone who knows more about computers than I did -- calls from Sandia Labs, Hewlett Packard (back when they knew technology), the NASA Jet Propulsion Labs in California, a sysadmin from InfoWorld, &c. -- the next week, I'm talking to people who don't know their backspace key from the left arrow. Jeez, I still think I could hear the IQ of our customers fall in the days between those events.
You know, sometimes I hate the fact that I earned a paycheck helping these jerks onto the Internet. Probably almost as much as Stream's current employees who have to support computer software & hardware that was broken when designed.
Ever since I left Stream, my experience of the Internet has consisted of finding one more neat use or idea that eventually gets destroyed because the great mass of the unwashed decides to make it their personal urinal.
And if you should ever meet a guy by the name of C. P. Thompson who worked for Netscape, kick him in the nuts for me. He was a PHB before Scott Adams was ever cool.

I think I see a trend here. Maybe for them it really would be easier to muzzle the entire internet than to produce p

I recall a little rant from long ago in response to then-19-year-old Jenni admitting to cheating on her boyfriend. Thrice. With the same 32-year-old guy. She caps-off the cyber-confession by commiting some good ol' fashioned copyright infringement against Peter Gabriel.
Good reading, really.
Oh, and good riddance you lousy, cheating, exhibitionist bitch.

The Jennishow was the best thing about the whole Jennican phenomenon. Viewer mail was great fun, the new car, the cooking show, and going to meet her family was just surreal. It made Jenni "real" in a way that the cam never did. Lots of good stuff was on "The Sync" in those days, but nothing came close to The Jennishow.
Good job, thanks!
She closed after 7 years because she started it when she was 33. :)

I thought the slashbox was Malda's wife.
I'm going to miss Spree, the hedgehog the most.
Did anyone else out there tune in for spree?
Apparently he ended up at the Saint Louis Zoo, sigh,
I guess I wasn't keeping up.
