the television series "Battlestar Galactica" will travel from outer space into cyberspace. The Sci Fi Channel, which broadcasts the series, has created online mini-episodes, the first of which is scheduled to be posted at midnight . . .

It is not obvious how to measure the success of the online segments. Sci Fi executives said they would monitor how often the Webisodes are the subject of online discussions and of course would see how many people tune in to the season premiere.

"Never having done it, you're never really sure what you're going to get out of it," Mr. Engler said. "Obviously if 50 million people watch them in the course of a week, that's a great success." -- taken from Sci Fi Creates "Webisodes" to Lure Viewers to TV

Fascinating. So here's one step toward their success, by my posting and my affirmation that it held one's attention for a short span of time. Check it out. It takes a direct and focused form of writing/filming. As you can tell I'm not boycotting it, hope that doesn't bother any friends who might be part of the Writers Guild of America :(
