KateModern’s second season launched this week on Bebo.com, too bad I received the news only today; the first episode was two days ago, January 16. For whose who tuned in just now, KateModern is the British spinoff of brilliant cross media creation (how I need a decent genre definition!!! what is this stuff? “narrative”? “experience”? “franchise”? “participatory fiction”? “interactive online TV”?) LonelyGirl15, web soap, ARG, community, and whatnot. Some definitions from the press: “a new form of online TV entertainment that combines bite-size 1-4 minute show episodes with live interaction”. And Bebo.com is called “the world’s only global Social Media Network”. Anyway, enjoy. I was glad the average age shifted from the 16 of LonelyGirl15 to KateModern’s 20-something, so I feel less of a voyeur.
