Dear Joshua:

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. 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 (etc., etc.)

While I was sincerely flattered, I don’t suspect I’ll end up doing it. For some reason, I just don’t imagine this overtaking, say, Joe Millionaire, in terms of viewer potential. But perhaps that’s just my own, cynical, newly Hollywood-ified viewpoint. Perhaps blogTV will, in fact, sweep the nation, finally merging micropublishing and mass media to hysterical audience response, forever changing the very nature of television, the web, nay, written and visual artistic expression itself! Or, on the other hand, maybe not.
