Facebook, in conjunction with Comcast’s Ziddio, has had a new project in the works since February: Facebook Diaries, a weekly series of episodes made up of user-generated content edited professionally. According to New TeeVee, the series will finally launch tonight around 9 p.m.
Judging from previews hosted on Ziddio and Comcast’s VOD platform, the video diaries will largely feature content befitting a college-centered social networking site - heartbreak, drama, and personal stories about users’ adventure creatively edited together. At present, the series is set to stretch eight episodes long, with the pilot, “Who Am I,” already waiting here.
Considering Facebook’s success and the success of social networking in general, it seems likely that these Facebook Diaries, the newest in the tradition of partially candid series (think lonelygirl15), has a good chance of attracting steady viewers. It may even have a chance of ending up on cable TV, which would be just one more feather in the cap of user-gen content’s online success. In the end, is there anything we like better than our own work?
