A lonely girl with global friends

Not sure how many people will know lonelygirl15 (aka Bree (played by Jessica Rose)), but it's one of the most successful YouTube blogs going, and Wired News has an excellent feature piece on how in just five months it has become a global phenomonon.

When the first episode was originally posted to YouTube in June it was not clear whether lonelygirl15 was genuine, however, by September it was exposed as a work of fiction (which just so happened to be a couple of weeks after I started watching), but this has not detracted from it's popularity. The first epsiode is posted below, if, you have no life like me, then it's worth wasting a few minutes each week to watch.
