I first noticed an episode of this show, about a group of twenty-somethings trying to figure out what to do with their lives, on YouTube. I thought it was interesting so I tried to look up more episodes, which led me to the "Quarterlife" website, which is an entire online community similar to MySpace, where users can friend one another and post pictures and artwork and videos for other users to see. The intriguing thing about the site is that the characters from the fictional show, also titled Quarterlife, have their own blogs on the site, which are very in depth with new posts or videos added at least several times a week, corresponding to what is happening on the show. People comment on these blogs as if the characters were real people, offering them encouragement and advice. Maybe this is common for fan sites, but I have never seen anything quite like it before. Also, I read that the show was just picked up by NBC, so it will be interesting to see if it succeeds and how the website might affect the success and vice versa. Here's the address:
