Loading ...I’ll admit, I have gotten into a few reality shows like “The Real Gilligan’s Island,” “The Joe Schmo Show,” and for some reason, I always watched “The Surreal Life.” But for the most part, I hate reality television. Can refuse to watch turn to CSI until the last credits for Survivor have run and American Idol is an absolute waste of time. For that matter, any reality show on Fox is not worth anything of entertainment or moral value.
However, I read this today. If you’d rather not click, I’ll tell you the jist: In a reality ONLINE series called “The Runner,” a person must travel the country and avoid capture (by whom I am uncertain).
The game will take place both in the real world and online, with audience members competing for a cash prize. Players speculatively will share information about the whereabouts of the runner.
It is also beleived that the show, being launched by Yahoo!, will incorporate
Yahoo!’s other assets, such as enabling players to use Yahoo!Maps to find a location or Yahoo!’s travel tools to investigate a flight or hotel. Clues could be spread via Yahoo!’s instant messenger.
This is an amazing concept and I hope it happens. It’s the perfect evolution to blend technology, entertainment and life. Pretty soon, there will be no differentiation between the three and we’ll all live in this warped reality that was created by our own consumerism. YES!
Sarcasm aside, this does look interesting. I’m surprised this is not something Google hopped on board with first. You can also read more about it here.
