Writers Strike Website Show the Toast of MetaCafe

During the 2007-08 writers’ strike, a number of WGA members banded together for Strike.tv, a website designed to give them ownership of Internet short-form programming. A few years later, a byproduct of that initiative has scored a major victory with San Francisco’s MetaCafe website.

With 34% of the online “MetaVote,” Dwelling, an original series created by The Office writer Anthony Q. Farrell, beat out six other finalists for the privilege of an exclusive follow-up online season. Additionally, a major sponsor will be found and attached, possibly even for some sly product placement.
