"The Biz" Social Networking

There has been a new addition to the social networking community.

"This time Variety, the world's premier source of entertainment news, in association with Jobster, announced the launch of "The Biz" (www.variety.com/thebiz) the first social networking site for entertainment professionals and enthusiasts in the U.S."

So now the big names have their own "facebook" so to say to play around with. It's serving themselves with a great place to network ideas and help eachother out in lots of different ways. One thing that i saw that was very interesting is that they also use it almost as a job posting. They help eachother get jobs and look for people to help them. It seems to be a lot more productive way of social networking then the messing around and joking around on facebook or myspace that people love.

The site also talks about how they hope that the site will be able to help readers interact better with the professionals and hopefully help forge stronger and better relationships. All these things are just hopes for now. It has only been up for about a week, so i guess we'll see how it works out.
