I just wanted to bring this up for the users of this space:

quote:
lonelygirl15 is all the rage on the tubes. Joystiq calls her an alternative reality game, NPR calls her the best TV show of the year. Lots of people think she is a viral marketing idiom, the NYT blogs sum up the arguements.

Personally, the whole thing reminds me so much of William Gibsons fantastic novel, Pattern Recognition I am damned near convinced he is behind the whole thing. I tried to watch a couple of them a while back. Frankly I find her tedious. Really at this point The Show with Ze Frank is the only "vlog" I have been able to tolerate. There is, however, something interesting about the whole lg15 phenom though.

Sorry about that, I didn't notice the other thread there. I actually did a search before I posted and didn't get any returns.
