There are a lot of indicators used to tell if a new technology or trend has gone mainstream. It can be everything from the chatter around the internet to being talked up in the old style media outlets. However nothing is more of an indicator than being used as part of the integral part of a television series.

Apparently one of the new series being premiered on the CW Network is a new show called Gossip Girl; which in itself doesn’t seem all that important - at least until you read the synopses:

Based on the book of the same title, Gossip Girl takes viewers inside the exclusive world of the privileged teenagers at an elite New York City private school. Each episode is told through the eyes of an anonymous blogger as the best gossip and deepest secrets are dished and revealed.

I chuckled a bit when I read it but even with blogging as part of a plot line it isn’t a show that will be on my list of new shows to watch.
