Rockstartup.com!!!

Rockstartup.com is a new reality show available online. As of the writing of this blog entry, the first two episodes are available online. The show is funny and has likable characters; if you can call the people appearing in a reality show “characters” seeing as the character they play is themselves. So, the premise behind this thing is basically the documentation of a web 2.0 startup company. I’m sure you’re saying, Ok…why would I watch this, I’ve seen this sort of thing before? The thing is, you haven’t, not exactly like this. The difference is that the outcome has not yet been determined. They film as they go. This isn’t a done deal and its future is still uncertain. What’s intriguing about that is that it’s entirely possible for you to help decide the outcome of the show simply by participating. You can go to their web startup company and participate, which could affect the outcome of the show. Another reason to watch is the outrageous personalities of everyone involved. I mean, these guys are crazy. CRAZY! Especially their fearless leader, Ted Murphy. Calling him eccentric would be an understatement. The guy is just naturally entertaining to watch. I would compare him to the crazy, zany, and wacky friend you had from high school who tried so hard to be different and stand out, and stand out he did. He was the guy who always made you laugh, no matter the situation (and most situations were inappropriate to laugh in). Check out the show, you won’t regret it.
