Enough already with LonelyGirl15. I mean, yeah, okay, great success story. But, come on, this is, like, soooo 2006.

Fabricated reality works when it’s a show of some kind, I don’t know about whole social networks… then again I’m not a teenager so maybe their focus groups and whatnot say the kids will bite.

I agree with Brian every now and then we come to know of reality shows ‘REALITY’. BTW … remember the popcorn mobile video… my ex-wife stopped putting my girl on the mobile for a week or two…

Its hard to really to know ‘what is real’

When is the whole reality or ‘fabricated’ reality craze going to end? I just don’t get it. I’m willing to bet that most, if not all, of the reality shows are scripted and I think the same about online reality ventures in general. If anything LG15 proved how easy it can be to dupe people. In many ways we live in a cynical society, yet people often fall for stuff like this with ease. If they have new series and openly state that they are scripted I doubt it will catch on at all.

The new look is beautiful but i would prefer to see the whole story at the front page instead. But there might be a reason behind this, maybe to protect content from fully-rss-content sites. maybe.

from a media producer’s perspective, I don’t see this working at all – the original LG15 was a “viral hit” that fizzled post-reveal – the episodes barely break 100-200k views now. They rode the hype and got funding, but I’m not sure they can execute on their original plan within the incredibly fickle and fast moving market of online video viewers.

But what ever happened to the actress?

Ok, for some reason the top banner ad isn’t showing up for me. Now I see there was method to the extended height madness. As you were cowboy!

By: Sam

I prefer the cleaner design but theres just a little too much white, unused space at the top (or gray as it appears). It looks like it was purposely left that height to include the ‘TechCrunch’ logo, but then that appears below? Cutting the height of the gray area would improve the overall look. Just a wee bit of constructive criticism.

There will always be a market for drama and soap operas…Taking them online was bound to happen. I find it fascinating that people really got into lonelygirl’s story.

Agree, dont like the new look. Sorry dont get me wrong, techcrunch is great, but the new look is distracting from the good content.
Keep up the good work.

Sorry, Mike, I don’t like the new look. Way too much white. Change is good, though — keep trying.
