"With a Bebo TV show being produced in the UK, it was only a matter of time before MySpace came to the small screen.  El Segundo-based DirecTV, a satellite television provider, says it will produce an original series called Project MyWorld, which will follow three girls travelling around the world to meet their MySpace friends in real life (so zero points for originality).  Renee is looking for love, Shaina wants to find the best musicians, and Taryn is looking for adventure.  The casting is fairly typical, too: Renee is the ditzy blonde who's just \"one of the guys\", while Shaina is an artsy brunette with a love of music.  Finally, Taryn is an anthropologist and former marathon runner who loves to travel. \nNaturally, the show is being promoted through some MySpace marketing attempts: there's a MySpace page for the show, featuring Photobucket slideshows of the girl's \"hilarious\" antics.  What's more, the girl's favorite friends could make it to the Project MyWorld Top 8.  You can also appear on the show by leaving a comment on one of their personal blogs.  The premise is predictable to say the least, but perhaps they'll attract some viewers through cross-promotion on MySpace Video and YouTube.  That said, I've yet to see any previews appearing on the top video sharing sites.  It's also worth noting that this isn't the first we've heard about bringing MySpace to old media: the concept of a MySpace Magazine has also been proposed, and widely criticized.  \nFor those kids who still watch TV, Project MyWorld premieres  on October 2nd on DirecTV Channel 101."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
