showbizzle.com Prelaunch Site is Released - showbizzle Background Provided
Here is some background information on this break-through idea of combining Web 2.0 social media ideas with traditional Hollywood entertainment.
" Okay... Think of showbizzle as scripted entertainment that could pass as a reality show, broadcast in the form of a daily blog, with the goal of building a social network aimed at emerging actors, writers, directors, fans of the biz – basically anyone with a computer and some time on their hands who is looking for some fun entertainment.
We’re looking for people most likely like you who are maybe thinking about spending some time out in Hollywood – or who would just like to live vicariously through the lives of our characters and the members of our showbizzle community.
Maybe showbizzle is just entertainment, or, maybe for you it’s something more… maybe you really are thinking about taking a chance, making the plunge, doing whatever it takes to make a career in show business happen – or, as we prefer to call it, showbizzle… which is kind of like show business, only a lot more fun.
Here’s the plan: Starting mid September 2008, showbizzle will present at least three original, two-minute, scripted videos every day until Thanksgiving (that’s 9 ½ weeks for those who are counting) posted on our showbizzle website…
The website serves as the daily blog of our fictitious blogger – Janey – who hangs out every day on the patio at her favorite coffee place listening to old friends and new acquaintances from all strata of Hollywood showbizzle, (in other words, our characters), confide intimate details about their career ambitions; creative aspirations, pipe dreams, hook ups, f***-ups, romantic liaisons, embarrassing day jobs, galvanizing moments, personal quests, major revelations, unexpected characters and narrative twists – you know, the basic personal and professional stuff that typifies what it's like to be young… in Los Angeles… in 2008.
The one thing we can assure you about the 170 videos we will be posting on the showbizzle website this Fall is that each vignette will feel authentic and different from virtually everything else that you can currently find in the world wide web.
We’re showbizzle. We’re different. And we like it that way.
Join us… and become part of our community. "
