Beyond YouTube

We’ve all heard of people making fools of themselves on YouTube, but Justin.tv just seems weird to me. It is a 24/7 video and audio feed of a guy doing nothing special. He’s not an adventurer, a sports star, or a sweet sixteen-year old, which means he doesn’t qualify for A&E or MTV. It has been effective viral marketing, which has led to publicity – but publicity for what?

It just seems like we should all have better things to do than watch someone else live their not-so-interesting life … or read my blog I guess. Ha.

PS – I’m still trying to decide if the online mini-series “Prom Queen” is interesting. It is 80 two-minute episodes. They’re on episode seven or eight now.
