The once-pioneering JenniCam is closing down December 31 after seven years online, and Terry Teachout at ArtsJournal.com writes that Jenni Ringley deserves credit as the Milton Berle of the Web:
She was present at the creation of a radically innovative form of interpersonal communication, and used it to show the world her underwear. What’s more, the world turned out to be interested in her underwear—briefly.
Nick Gillespie at Hit & Run also puts her in perspective: "At the height of its popularity, jennicam reportedly drew 100 million visits a week--and launched thousands of interminable trend stories about the Web."
