Is anybody there? Does anybody care?
So CNet is reporting MyspaceTV is going to "broadcast" the "season finale" of the "first season" of Lonelygirl15.
The number of quotation marks in that lede ought to communicate my utter skepticism.
My, my, Lonelygirl15 sure has come a long way. Not so long ago, everyone thought the too-cute videoblogger was, well, a too-cute videoblogger. Then some online video fans with a shocking amount of time on their hands deduced that she was likely an actress in a staged series of video episodes.
Screw you, buddy, I'm a very busy man.
Lonelygirl15 episodes have been uploaded to the Lonelygirl15 MySpace page since the series' early days, but this is the first time that they'll be available only on the portal. Lonelygirl, after all, is one of YouTube's biggest stars too.
So you're taking a "show" that is popular almost solely through YouTube and presenting its "finale" exclusively on a site nobody's ever heard of (seriously, MyspaceTV? What is that?) in order to reach a larger audience?
I didn't even realize they were still making episodes, frankly. I don't know what the Lonelygirl15 revenue stream is, but good for them if they've landed a deal with the mysterious MyspaceTV.
Let the bridge be burned behind me
Come what may, come what may
