Trex, yeah you basically nailed the thing on its head.

Thanks for the comment, Trex. I think sometimes people just like a mystery -- who doesn't? And as for jumping on the sensationalist bandwagon, I don't think I was doing that. I just thought it was interesting. If I wanted to be sensationalist I wouldn't have mentioned that Huff changed his tune and believes MaryAnne is for real.

And MaryAnne, thanks for dropping by. If that's really you, of course :-) You have a lovely voice.

I was one of her early subscribers. I found her channel while browsing around YouTube last year for jazz and it's been fantastic to see more people discovering her.

After the whole lonelygirl15 thing, I guess it's human nature to be skeptical. But honestly, it's not that hard to do a bit of investigation - the bottom portion of left column on her website has links to "more" videos about her. In these videos, she answers tons of questions fans have about her.

And she's super easy to get in touch with via email. This is a completely different scenario from lonelygirl15 where people were trying to solve a mystery. In this case, information is readily available.

It's kind of annoying to seeing you jump on this sensationalist bandwagon. She was also be at the SF YouTube gathering yesterday. Think Jessica Rose would come out to something like that?

Do journalists/bloggers even try to contact people these days? Or do just feed off of Techmeme or other blogs or publically air people out?
