Hana the Wireless Girl Wants You
With “Heroes” impending April 23rd, NBC is pulling out some gimmicks to get fans involved more with their website. This from the NBC PR department:
BURBANK, Calif. April 2, 2007 – NBC.com today announced several new site feature updates — all centered around interactive features based on popular NBC programming, including “The Office,” “30 Rock” and “Heroes.” The new features were created in response to user requests. The announcements were made by Vivi Zigler, Executive Vice President NBC Digital Entertainment and New Media.
And the section of most interest to “Heroes” fans:
Starting April 9th, Hana, the former Mossad operative who can “hear” the Internet, will enlist fans to help with her plans to thwart Linderman’s plots. The top-secret online activity will actually interact with the on-air story and will pay off in the Monday, April 23rd episode, when “Heroes” returns to the NBC lineup. The all-inclusive experience is designed for both fans who have followed the digital storylines from the beginning and for users that are just now joining Hana’s cause.
In addition, fans of “Heroes” who are also submitting their own artwork inspired by the show can view their creations on display in a gallery on NBC.com.
As another new feature, viewers and users have been asked to submit their “theories” about what’s really going on in the enigmatic world of “Heroes.” Selected video theories are being used in on-air promos and will continue through the return of “Heroes” on April 23rd.
Hana the Wireless Hero wants you.
