The Lizzie Bennet Diaries not only uses Youtube to tell the tale of the Bennet sisters, but also Facebook and Twitter. Each fictional character has a Facebook profile, and their own Twitter account. I think a few of the characters might even have their own Flickr account? The series has recently ended, so there will no longer be any status updates or tweets on those accounts (I presume), but if you are looking to "enrich" your experience, you might want to search for their accounts to see their tweets etc..
Be forewarned, though, that when I tried to access their official website for The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, that my browser warned that the site may be compromised. Therefore, I did not continue forward to their site. Perhaps that has changed since I tried to access it. I have not tried it again.
In any case, there are 100 episodes in Lizzie's diaries, and several spin-off entries from other characters (Lydia, and Charlotte) that compliment and add depth to the tale.
I highly recommend this updated social media adaptation on Pride and Prejudice. I do have some criticisms of the series, but overall it was done well and gave me some good laughs, and indeed a good cry.
Below is Episode 1.
