While Voog achieved moderate success with The Blue Up?, it was on the web where she reached true fame. After spending years as "the unluckiest would-be rock star" in the Twin Cities, Voog started a website late in 1997 while awaiting the release of her first solo album. The album debuted after the website-- in fact, it was named for the website: ANAVOOG.COM was released by Wasteland Records, which proclaims the album "the first ever to be named for a website."

anacam is featured in the documentary Webcam Girls, an independent film which was shown at the 11th annual Victoria Independent Film & Video Festival in 2005. The documentary shows a "new generation of women in cyberspace", who are creating a new artform which combines fame, performance art, and pornography with new technology.
