CW Puts Gossip Girl Back on Web

They tried to steer their young audiences' eyeballs from their computer screens to their televisions, but alas, the CW has decided to throw in the towel on this strategy and return full-length episodes of Gossip Girl back to cwtv.com. (Hooray!)

Offering free streaming and ad-supported episodes of the popular teen drama, the young-skewing network has given back their viewers the ability to watch the episodes when they choose (a very important aspect to keep in mind when dealing with audiences of digital age). Despite the valiant effort on CW's part, the lesson learned here is never underestimate the teenage attachment to laptops! — Gina DiNunno

I thought it was a stupid idea to remove them in the first place considering the suits at the CW touted their online presence and used that as justification for greenlighting a s2.
