Myspace wedding

Myspace is getting ready to debut a reality Web series that will follow a couple through their engagement and end with a wedding. This is part of a strategy to draw in an older, more diverse crowd to their online social networking community as well as bring reality shows online instead of exclusively on television networks.

In my opinion Myspace is not considering the typical reality television viewers. The people who watch reality tv are most likely already plugged into this new age that is all about technology and reality tv. The people who are going to watch this Myspace wedding series are most likely already signed up on Myspace.

Myspace is losing out to Facebook these days and this might be how they are trying to gain more credibility and more users but I think many people are going to see this new attempt as lame. There are already so many reality television shows, I can’t count the number of times a day I hear people saying they are sick of them. In order for Myspace to keep up with the times they need a brand new idea, not one that has been overdone and people are getting sick of.
