Lonelygirl15 is dead, Fake Steve Jobs Unvieled

by Karl on August 6, 2007

Talk about Web2.0 mellodrama, Lonelygirl15 sacrificed in some weird cult ceremony, and apparently there are a lot more Lonelygirls out there that the cult is after, clearly Lonelygirl15 has outgrown the budget and they need some fresh blood. Interestingly the series finally was exclusively on myspace TV.

And fake steve jobs turns out to be a great strategy to sell books! Turns out it was Forbes editor Daniel Lyons.

Both contrived, fake, entertaining, watchable…. at least initially.
