JenniCam
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 Ms. Ringley was a junior in college. Originally the site consisted of a single webcam, updated every five minutes and posted the image on the Internet. Anybody could access the site and observe a regular person's life. JenniCam was one of the first web sites that continuously and voluntarily surveyed a private life. The site was later expanded with more cameras more frequently updated.
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.
