In this week's show and campfire discussion, we talk about 90dayjane.com. The 90 Day Jane blog was only a few days old before it was taken down by its owner. See, the blog documented the final ninety days of Jane's life before she commits suicide. She didn't know how she was going to do it, only that she was going to do it, and she was taking us along for the ride.
And what a ride it was. A few days into the documentation, and after much speculation mixed with genuine concern and confusion from her readers, Jane admitted that the whole thing was an art project and quickly took the blog and accompanying videos down.
We've posted the screen shots that we were able to grab from her blog here on our blog. We wanted to start a conversation about it. What are the implications of creating a project like this on the web? Are we creating a generation of cynics and non-believers who will think twice before helping a person who says they are in need of help? Or do these kinds of events fine-tune our bullshit meters? We're having a discussion over on MIX.
What do you think? Let us know on the MIX campfire discussion.
