Ever wonder what Libby Hoeller is up to these days?
Well, the last time we heard about her on this site was back in early 2005 when one of my readers bumped into her and scored her signature*.
Which he actually framed.
Hey, i would’ve done the same.
*(story after the jump)
Anyway, i stumbled upon this article in New York Magazine about Kids, the Internet, and the End of Privacy and…
LO AND BEHOLD.
I think they’re talking about Libby Hoeller.
Take “Susie,” a girl whose real name I won’t use because I don’t want to make her any more Googleable. Back in 2000, Susie filmed some videos for her then-boyfriend: she stripped, masturbated, blew kisses at the Webcam – surely just one of many to use her new computer this way. Then someone (it’s not clear who, but probably her boyfriend’s roommate) uploaded the videos. This was years before YouTube, when Kaazaa and Morpheus ruled. Susie’s films became the earliest viral videos and turned her into an accidental online porn star, with her own Wikipedia entry.
I’m cited in that Wikipedia entry by the way. Thanks to my Libby post.
The nymag story dated February 12th so it’s fairly recent. Libby seems to be doing alright despite her ‘fame’ (The Libby post still gets comments).
And hey! The article even talks about that Mastercard Revenge chick!
Nothing about Psycho Girl though. Fail.
Have a read.
