Channel 4’s digital entertainment channel E4 [will shortly have its website revamped as a social network](http://www.brandrepublic.com/bulletins/media/article/606141/c4-takes-big-brother-auditions-online-e4com-revived/). Rather than sift through audition tapes, submissions for the next freakfest series of Big Brother will be via a Youtube-style community video service; presumably they will also find other ways to link their programming output - Russell Brand, Hollyoaks - to the network.

This could be a rather clever move that blurs the line between old-school TV networks and the Internet, while avoiding the highbrow trappings of the likes of Al Gore’s [Current TV](http://www.current.tv/) and C-SPAN’s [Viewfinder](http://c-span.org/viewfinder/). On the other hand, they could drop the ball and create something as unoriginal as a Myspace ripoff. We will have to wait and see.
