I’ve always fascinated by stories about Alloy, the packager that does a lot more than come up with ideas for books and hire writers to write them.

The New York company behind the "Gossip Girl" book-turned-TV series and the "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" book-turned-movie series has become a significant force on the Internet. By one reckoning, the company's Teen.com network is the hottest teen-oriented property on the Web, based on unique visitors. Now, Alloy is moving into Web video... the debut of Teen.com TV.”
