Remember JenniCam? As big as Amazon, in the nineties. Imagine if she'd been pretty too.
I get the same feeling from the very little I've seen of "cam sites" as from the very little I've seen of "reality" shows: it bores me to tears. If I want to see and hear ordinary people discussing ordinary things, I don't have to use fancy digital technology, it's all around me.
Another thing which bores me: blending gadgets. Every time a new gadget appears, millions of people want to see it perish in a blender. Me, I felt that once I'd seen it once, I'd pretty much seen it.

Strangely, I actually liked JenniCam. I even have a sticker "I'd rather be watching JenniCam". I shit you not.
Unfortunately she stopped taking care of her looks and body, gained a lot of weight, stopped being interesting and quit.
I would be interested to hear about her again, but according to Wikipedia she keeps a low profile now.

I am a little interested to see whether the iPhone 4's stainless steel frame does the blender in.

Googled a bit and found this video featuring Jenni in 2007, looking back on her webcam antics: http://www.spike.com/video/behind-scenes-with/2833649

ReplyDeleteIf only some people on the web would go the whole way like Jennifer did... quit I mean. It's a joke. Almost.
