Just read a post, saying that Kate, KateModern, killed at the end of the first season of the 35 million views’ TV soap from Bebo.com(the second season is consequently entitled “Who Killed Kate?”), was killed because “the audience didn’t fancy her”, said Bebo international president Joanna Shields. This used to happen in TV soaps as well, only now audience monitoring is almost simultaneous to broadcast. Is this a rising form of “passive interaction”?
More about definitions: this post calls KateModern “interactive video drama”.
