I feel virtually guilty about abandoning her but, as I am not 12, I couldn't figure out how to clothe or shelter her!

What I research is the business model. I suppose my point was, that until other series shows up on a major network exactly as they were shown online, it is just unfair to make the kind of comparison that you made. As a reader here, I prefer the posts and articles that provide information such as your link to "The Guild". There are so many talented young people struggling for recognition and they are hard to find. Hopefully one day, a truly worthy online show will actually discover the business model that will pay for itself and provide income and even profit for those involved. I don't care if that door is opened by the Michael Eisners, Marshall Herskovtizs, or the "Genuine" folks you spoke about. When this happens, it will benefit all who have been the warriors. Each show will have to stand on its own merit, but until that time why not embrace the trailblazers like "quarterlife"? This particular show is only one of the many that I have followed. Where you see poor and failure...I see a leaning curve and an effort that continues to forge ahead. Steve,

But what I did mean to say was that quarterlife was just poor. Sorry, we disagree. Jackie,

The show making it to primetime at all is a significant achievement. Thousands of the 3 million plus viewers from NBC made their way to the "quarterlife" website as well as thousands from the Bravo airing. Here they had an opportunity to watch the entire first season and become valued and active members of the community. I have to say that I did find the rest of your post interesting and have made the effort to check out "The Guild" website. I look forward to viewing ther episodes and wish them well. I love to read about new web projects, but I have to say that it makes me very uncomfortable to hear such high praises for one online effort at the expense of another.
