Frickcam

Encyclopedia : F : FR : FRI : Frickcam


The FrickCam, or Frick Cam, was one of the first web cams. It was launched in May of 1996 by Jennifer Frickell. She would post several photos a month, usually of herself, with a caption about the day so far. In short time, she became well-known on the internet and even appeared on Internet Tonight in 1999.

The Frick Cam - "old" and "new" versions - is still available but updated very rarely, with only five postings in 2005. In early 2006, only the message "hi! there was a temporary loss of data and i'm too busy to mess with it at this time." appeared.

It was originally known as the JenCam. However, she changed the name due to mistaken traffic brought by the infamous JenniCam, which also started up around the same time.
