"Blogs and Tumblrs and Twitters—the status updates of the heart, the echo chambers of an era, the mirrors in which the parakeets of Generation Y Not Me? look at themselves and says, “Who’s a pretty, underappreciated birdy?”—are, of course, the TV shows of tomorrow. Particularly if these Tumblr-bloggy-Twitter things are created by twentysomething females who are just as adorably directionless, yet adorably savvy about being directionless, as Lena Dunham."

If you are a twentysomething female with a blog, you should be getting a TV show any day now

Comedian Zach Anner Launches Reddit-Powered Travel Show »

Anner and Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian developed a plan to use the site to make Riding Shotgun a much more participatory endeavor than other shows. Last month, Reddit users helped Anner select the cities the series will visit. Now Anner’s using his official Subreddit to collect ideas of what to do in each city. He’s even using Reddit to crowdfund gas for the road. […] A quip on the Riding Shotgun website sums things up: “Do you have an Internet? Then you can be part of it!“ Check out Anner’s announcement video above, then follow Riding Shotgun online and visit the show’s Subreddit to contribute your ideas.
