It’s obvious to me that the internet is the future of media. Most internet users realized it long ago, and the popularity of file sharing proves that it definitely works. Most networks make some of their most popular shows available to be streamed from their sites soon after they air, which is a start.

Some companies have decided to skip television all together though, and have made new shows specially for the web. Comedy Central’s website has a bunch “Web Shows”, and there are various others whose success is based solely on what they’ve created for the internet. The newest addition: Fox Reality’s new TV show “Nightclub Confessions.”

Fox will install confessional booths in various bars in Southern California, and people can enter and say whatever they want. Obviously they will be filmed, and are also told that the footage might be shown on Fox Reality’s website and channel. Unfortunately it will be somewhat censored, and even more when it’s shown on TV. Chances are most of what they get will be people making up stories just to get on the show though, with a few true and probably less interesting ones from people who want to spill their secrets for whatever reason. The show will be available on FoxReality.com starting May 30th, and there will be 30 webisodes each about 8 to 10 minutes long. The best will be edited into a one hour special to air on June 30th, although it will be a tamed down version of what can be seen on the website.
