#SillyJENNI - Saturday, March 23, 2019 at 11 AM – 5 PM
*** Why SillyJENNI ?

On 3 April 1996, 19-year-old student Jennifer Kaye Ringley installed a webcam in her Pennsylvania dorm room, and rigged it to broadcast a still photo of whatever she was doing at that moment, every 15 minutes. And so, lifecasting was born.

Today of course, in the always-on era of Periscope, Facebook, Instagram and the like, lifecasting is not just accepted, but almost expected, and certainly hugely popular, but it all started 20 years ago, with JenniCam.

JenniCam was one of the first web sites that continuously presented someone’s private life. The first webcam streamed only black-and-white images of her in the dorm room, but as her popularity grew, Ringley increased the number of webcams to four, they became colour, and the refresh rate increased. Ringley also began offering a ‘premium’ service, charging members $15 a year to get two-minute updates, alongside the free “JenniCam Guests”, who had to settle for updates every 20 minutes.

“You can come to my site for days and never once catch me naked. I'm very aware that sex sells. If I were trying to make money I would certainly do more things to make people come to the site.”

Not surprisingly, security was a problem. Early on in JenniCam’s existence, the site was hacked, with the hackers (teen pranksters as it turned out) demanding that she “show more” in her strip shows. Ringley also received death threats. “I didn't leave my room for three days; I kept all the blinds closed,” Ringley admitted after the incident. “I was scared out of my mind. Now I have an unlisted phone and address, and I have security at the front desk of my apartment.”
