Hart, Hugh. '. April 14, 2010.
This is my first contributin to Wikipedia (-: We-ho!
Anyway, I added a small paragraph of information, mainly translated from the mentioned book. I also corrected a few spelling mistakes (hit enter instead of clicking Show preview - duh). There is still much more to be written about the JenniCam phenomomen. Feel free to do so (-: -Berge Schwebs Bjørlo
I think I just did the edit that makes the page complete, if poorly worded.

I don't think that this page about Jennicam should be deleted, its about internet history.
No real mention as the start of the "cam whore" phenom. No mention of the various hack attacks and vitriol against this cam whore.
Jeepers guys, JenniCam was the first person to go 24/7 on webcam, plus was one of the first examples of an Internet celebrity. She has a place in Internet history. She has appeared in the "Fame After Photography" exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.
Cleaned up the text without changing statements, including using Ringley's last name only to refer to her, which I hope will make this article more neutral in tone. I won't even try to verify the accuracy of any statements. Gladmax 12:29 PM 12 May 2006 (EDT)
Changed the category back to "Adult" from "Erotica". Jennicam did on occasion display nudity and sex in the context of one's daily life, however, the site was certainly not pornographic or "erotic" in nature. Patrick80639 23:15, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
JenniCam was arousing to some viewers because it tore away the curtains that society had established by tradition. It is clearly NOT pornography and the level to which it was erotica is probably not above the baseline background of normal activities that occur "behind closed doors". I dare anyone to prove that Ringley was exceptionally promiscous. -- 64.175.42.128 23:19, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
I removed this text today: "There was, however, certainly a voyeuristic aspect of this which Ringley had to have been aware of, since whenever Ringley would spread her legs for her male lover, the penises of thousands of her male subscribers, and fellow Dickinson College students, would become erect and they would masturbate. Ringley, in a sense, became the alpha female who would allow only one male to access Ringley's vagina, whereas all other members of her tribe of followers had to pay to masturbate to her." - sorry, what is this rubbish? Someone projecting their fantasies, no doubt. Achromatic 22:31, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
I dunno. Seems kinda like a whitewashing with no mention of the Courtney incident or even of Dex at all. It is relevant because it caused an enormous drop in her fanbase, from which she never recovered. 02:59, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
That is true. Many of those who were really following her life got very upset with her and could no longer view her sympathetically, that she took her friend's fiance', and immediately started making love to him on cam. And sometimes Jenny would behave just plain weird. Like with no plans to have a baby or anything, trying to lactate. 67.35.26.170 ( talk) 21:54, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
The following large blockquote is something of a rabbit trail, so I cut it down to just the bolded part:
This passage might be more relevant on the lifecasting article. Also, I'm not convinced Jenni viewed herself as an artist, or JenniCAM as conceptual art. From what I've read, I think it was more of an experiment; something she wanted to try because it was fascinating to her. Eseymour 14:15, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
I worked on the MOMA exhibition video (it was clips from The Jennishow on TheSync). Jenni did mention the JenniCam being an art experiment. I think she was a performance artist, because she did do some things "for the cam". But she also kind of liked being seen naked and also liked making money. She was very complex and conflicted. Typical artist if you ask me!
It would be good to find some kind of source. Dave Rebecca 19:27, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
I re-removed the stuff about the Big Brother TV show and biometric identification systems, etc. It's an interesting discussion, perhaps, but it doesn't belong in this article. Eseymour 16:58, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
There is a link to an article concerning an individual, Hasan M. Elahi, that doesn't seem relevant. He appears to be making more of a political statement or is an activist of some sort. I would like to remove this link as it doesn't seem related to Jennicam or Jennifer Ringley at all. The only thing they have in common is they seem to both have used webcams to cpature images of themselves. If such weak connections were to be used, we should have Jaleel White listed under "see also" on George Clooney's article, as they both have worked in front of a TV camera. :) -- Patrick80639 18:21, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
Image:Modernferret28.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

I found:
It seems to be a university page, but I don't know whether it was a faculty member or a student. If it is the former, it may have more weight WhisperToMe ( talk) 02:48, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
Also this is the Jennicam FAQ: http://replay.web.archive.org/19990420213308/http://www.jennicam.org/faq/general.html#a WhisperToMe ( talk) 12:45, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
Also found http://replay.web.archive.org/19990218124854/http://cgi.amazing.com/jennifer/ - Lemme see if I can get some archives WhisperToMe ( talk) 14:48, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
At http://replay.web.archive.org/19970411025543/http://www.amazing.com/david/women-interests.html the owner of the website said that he didn't host Jennicam anymore - She may have been at boudoir.org/jennifer, but the only archive web.archive.org picked up was a porn site
http://replay.web.archive.org/19970411030006/http://www.amazing.com/david/women-sexy.html shows that something had happened to the site's Jennicam archives by then
http://replay.web.archive.org/19990908215903/http://www.amazing.com/jencam/ said that he stopped hosting Jennicam

The problem with:
Is that it uses Wikipedia and The Great Geek Manual as sources, and it doesn't say which piece of info came from which document WhisperToMe ( talk) 12:06, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

I added a few sentences today to this page just to add some more detail. All of my additions were cited and came from a Banet-Weiser piece titled "Branding the Postfeminist Self". This page would use a little more information so that readers can get a better understanding of how influential the Jennicam was to modern day media production. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sspeters ( talk • contribs) 02:35, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
I've asked over at the helpdesk whether it's appropriate to include a 15 year old wayback link in the infobox. Chaheel Riens ( talk) 07:34, 2 November 2017 (UTC)
