I see that i-anya has spotted lonely gurl and she has cited Danah’s blog who writes really interestingly about this phenomenon.
What phenomenon?
The fact that a whole series of videos on youtube and an associated myspace account turn out to be a piece of art. That is to say a new form of narrative which is dispersed across spaces on the Internet.
so exciting.
Fascinating stuff and an exciting form of distributed narrative I would say.

I just came across lonelygirl15 last week and was wondering whether I can work any is it “real”/isn’t it “real” exercises into my information literacy class … in the context of lonelygirl there is the issue of “does it matter whether it’s “real” (though it evidently did to some of the people who have posted comments after feeling betrayed or abused by the “fake”. When trying to find information about people or places who exist for some purpose (e.g. you want to get in touch with a person, you’re researching a famous person for an assignment, you want to see what a place looks like - learning to read real/fake signals could be part of information literacy (as well as digital literacy)
