Showtime’s “The L Word” is teaming up with multimedia developer Electric Sheep to create its own interactive experience. The service will begin testing next month with plans to fully launch in early 2009 — when the show’s new series begins — according to the Hollywood Reporter.
“The L Word” virtual world will be the first major usage of Webflock, (Webflock is Flash-based, thereby requiring no end-user downloads or setup prior to use.) The company has previously built services such as Virtual Laguna Beach, Virtual CSI: NY, and Second Life’s version of “The L Word,” which accompanied the show’s last season.
The Second Life version has a virtual Planet where avatars can hang out and chat about the show, life or whatever strikes your fancy. You can dance at the club or watch screenings of The L word at the amphitheater. Starlette hosted a dance event last year on Second life!
