Lonelygirl15 Creators Rely on Open Source

By Craig | Published: September 20, 2006

Creators behind the Internet video phenomenon Lonelygirl15 will rely on open source technology and a newly launched Web site to explore possibilities in storytelling. The inventors — Greg Goodfried, 27; Miles Beckett, 28; and Mesh Flinders, 26 — plan to take the video-saga experiment in social networking much further by using technology to build a Web-site community around the show. Through an active forum, fans can provide feedback on daily decisions made by the 16-year-old video star Bree. “The community is the key to the show,” Goodfried said. “If the fans didn’t have the ability to comment and interact, the show would die.” (link)
