BLOG: McFly's SUPER CITY

They're always saying how the kid of today have been born into the "Information Age" - a world where everything we want to know is at the click of a button. What they never really say, but too often think, is that kids are born into the world of "Virtual Alternatives" - a world where fantasy is better that reality.

With the birth of the internet also comes the birth a parallel universe. If we thought getting to know a person face-to-face was hard, imagined trying to get to know a person screen-to-screen. In a place where you private life is not so private, the world just gets smaller and smaller.

McFly's Super City - the ULTIMATE band site (2010)

I clicked on this video because I'm an active subscriber of McFly. Since the screening of Just My Luck I have loved their music, and if I was being honest I even had a crush on their lead guitaris, Danny. But I was a bit put off by their upcoming website launch. Their new band site is not the typical "get your paraphernalia, subscribe and win competitions", it's a whole new social website. It operates like any other social site where members can chat to other members, make friends with everyone and get the perks of anything the can earn (like Farmville).

McFly have given their fans the ULTIMATE gaming experience, social networking and fan access. Don't get me wrong, I mean the site isn't launching until November 1, 2010, but this is slightly over the top. I may have to review this site after the launch to give you McFly fans a chance to either agree or disagree with me. I personally think it's a bit over the top for both the band and their fans, I mean we're talking about 24/7 access to the band, the world does not wake and sleep at the same time - but I suppose they've already figured that out. :P

sL star rating: TBA - I'll have to see the FREE section first, so I'll re-evaluate the site in exactly a month. :D
