The Power of Online Conversations: Are You On Team COCO?
15 Jan 2010
Here’s a look at a noteworthy online conversation that’s been everywhere this week. By now we all know about NBC’s very public fumble with their weeknight talk show hosts. I’ll admit that I don’t actually watch The Jay Leno Show or The Tonight Show (this of course is the exact reason that NBC is having issues in the first place). I have, however, been fascinated by the way this has spread online.
Supporters of Conan O’Brien have joined forces to (loosely) create Team COCO. This team has some major traction, and it’s all because Conan O’Brien’s core audience is a group of Facebooking, Youtubing, non-traditional TV watching 20-somethings like myself. What I find most interesting is that the online conversation, one large enough to effect a sea-change in the world of late-night, is being held almost entirely outside of the reach of Conan O’Brien, Jay Leno and NBC.
What has Conan done?
So…
