Just wanted everyone to know that Guiding Light is not officially over--TeleNext/P&G are officially continuing storyline on Twitter in the form of narrative posts by "MelindaSueLewis." Basically, Mindy is telling us what she sees going on around her--complete with conversations between characters. (Lizzie just had her new baby but is obsessing over Sarah, Phillip is thinking of giving all the Spaulding money away, Billy and Vanessa are around, etc. Reva and Josh are mentioned, but still off on their adventure.)
The reason why it matters that "Melinda Sue Lewis" is posting is because we know that the Big Boys at P&G Productions are watching those posts, and keeping track of how many "followers" Mindy has. This is likely because they are trying to gauge how much of an audience Guiding Light would have if they brought it back as a web series. The Brand Manager--Digital Innovation at P&G Productions is "following" MelindaSueLewis himself, and the head of P&G Productions has publicly stated, "We're putting our focus on creating digital content." That means they're looking to get out of the TV soap business and looking to get into the web series business. P&G has already produced a little soap-like web series which was on the internet, and then it was aired on TV.
So please sign up to "follow MelindaSueLewis" on Twitter! It's a direct line to P&G's ears, and every follower counts!

It's just a free social networking site on the internet--pretty much the same thing as Facebook. "Following" someone on Twitter is the same thing as being their "friend" or "fan" on Facebook.
