[...] Inside the CBC has a post about Being Erica’s social media strategy (which will no doubt be analyzed to death on every Canadian social media blog). It includes the blog and YouTube videos I raved about earlier, as well as a fake Facebook profile (isn’t that a no-no on Facebook?). [...]

I was under the impression that fake profiles were contrary to Facebook’s Terms of Service.

I was one of those caught off-guard by the little headline in the corner of the CBC webpage saying something about Erica’s blog – I was interested, as a blogger, in what CBC was up to, and loved her little vlog bits. It was evident that she was an actress and that the production values were too high to be a real youtube vlog from someone’s desk (not to mention who has a webcam at work?!) but loved it. I am THRILLED that the eps are being provided online as I don’t have a TV and I am one of CBC’s militant radio and internet fans.
I really liked the show. PLEASE PLEASE PLEAAASSSEEE don’t cancel this one, CEEB. I implore you.

I also object to Allan’s characterization of Erica as slutty – I think he misses the whole point. the only resemblance to Lilo is the reddish hair.

Very cute – and Linday Lohan slutty. Great combination.
Excellent work by director Holly Dale.

Tell “Erica” while she’s on facebook she can join the “jPod” http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=20478128136&ref=ts (4,195 Members) and the
“”SAVE jPOD NOW!!!”
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=8864248089 Groups. Maybe she can even be friends with Ethan Jarlewski and all of the other “Podsters” who have already been on facebook since last January.

While she’s at it maybe she can go back in time and tell the Mothercorpse how rediculous it would be to cancel a show that is brilliant and well loved, traditionally and online.
