a couple weeks ago, i got an email from hoffman netter entertainment about submitting a video related to my blog, for a potential reality show on bloggers. it's pretty random and i'm not participating in it for a variety of reasons... my website has little point and/or focus, how in the world would i "encapsulate" quidnunc.org, to begin with?!
i did a search to see if others talked about the email in their blogs and i found a few, all with the general concensus of "huh?" also, how did they pick the people they emailed? i read a variety of different blogs and i haven't seen anyone else mention it.
so, i was wondering if anyone else had gotten the email as well and what they thought of the possibility of watching a show about blogging and/or bloggers -- i don't get the interest.
the email i got, for your reading enjoyment is in the comments section.
Dear Michelle:
We are creating a TV pilot about blogging. We want to bring this
phenomenon of personal expression to television for the very first time,
and have been scouring the web for appropriate sites. Your web site
seems like a potentially great fit for the show.
If you would like to be a part of our pilot, you can do so by submitting
a video that encapsulates you and your blog. Maybe your AOL tin
project?
Whatever you want to say and show in your video is fine. The key is to
capture the essence of your blog in video format, and if it's
interesting enough, we'll include it.
If this is something that you want to participate in, please go to our
web site for more information, and follow the instructions:

Thank you so much.
Sincerely,
Hoffman Netter Entertainment
should i feel slighted that i didn't get this email? damn my obscurity!
