lonelygirl15 Is Dead–Long Live EQAL!?!

in News on August 4, 2008 at 12:56 am PT

Last Friday, what BoomTown would call the Web’s first bona fide hit ended, as the lonelygirl15 online series finale took place with 12 video segments uploaded over 12 hours. Now, apparently, it is time to meet EQAL, a “social entertainment company” that is still essentially the two guys–Greg Goodfried and Miles Beckett–who dreamed up LG15 and also the KateModern Web series. Except, rather than operating out of their homes on a wing and a prayer, they are now armed with $5 million in funding.
