Wired 14.12: The Secret World of Lonelygirl - 0 views

  • commune-raised screenwriter a green light to unleash Lonelygirl15 on the world.
    • Jen Fitzgerald
       
      This guy was raised on a commune with twelve other kids. He's just trying to find any way to stand out, even if it is creepy. He really thought through the process and made sure to cover himself.
  • (one called her an "attention whore" and another a "video slut"),

      I've noticed how quick people are to post vile and insulting things. They don't care who will see their remarks because they can hide behind their screen name. Cursing seems like less and less of a taboo online. I don't think this is a good way to share with our peers.

Wired 14.12: The Secret World of Lonelygirl - 0 views

  • Lonelygirl15 is a mashup of homemade video diary, soap opera, and mysterious, hint-laden narrative like Lost
    • Jen Fitzgerald
       
      Many of the "reality" shows we watch today are scripted and not real at all. This makes the lonelygirl situation more understandable, but no less creepy just because it seems as if one guy decided upon this himself. I wonder how much input the actress had, since she is a girl and all.

Wired 14.12: YouTube vs. Boob Tube - 0 views

  • Advertisers and brands are enormously risk averse,
    • Jen Fitzgerald
       
      These videos could produce very specialized advertising. Those that would pose these types of videos can be targeted by morally ambigious advertisers for very specific products or services. That is scary.

      I completely agree with this statement. I personally watch alot of shows on DVR, especially American Idol because I can't stand how they draw out the show with commercials every five minutes. Advertisers have to adapt to the changing marketplaces or else their products will suffer.
  • a spiraling vortex of ruin.

      I completely agree with this statement. I watch most shows on DVR, especially American Idol and fast forward through the commercials. They draw out these shows and make the commercial breaks longer and longer.

  • put fall premieres of shows like Smith and The New Adventures of Old Christine on Google Video

      This is what motivated much of the Writer's Guild strike. The writers wanted to have a share of online revenue when their shows are downloaded, like royalties.

      Maybe I am behind the times, but exactly how does a free website become profitable? Is it just advertising, or is there another way to make money?
  • YouTube's fixed assets pretty much consist of a video
    • Jen Fitzgerald
       
      I need help understanding how YouTube makes its profits. I know advertising, but is there another source of income?
