Brand New Website for Threatre Lovers!!!
Fri, 9 Nov 2007, 12:30 pm
Hey everyone! I am an actress from Sydney and i recently found a fantastic website for broadway fans, actors, producers, etc. its like a myspace for just us, and its free to put up a profile! check it out...
www.broadwayspace.com
My two cents on this site -
Fri, 9 Nov 2007, 05:05 pmMy two cents on this site - it's an American one, which isn't necessarily bad, it just means most of its info will be aimed at an American audience, and not much for Aussies. In fact, from a quick browse, I could see nothing of interest for specific Australian information.
Their contact info is on the privacy page, where it is quite clear that the site is run by Ning.com - a website which allows you to create your own social network. It's also likely that because of the nature of the 'space' thing, it would end up more like a dating/social site, than an informative theatre site.
Here's some info on who set it up:

BetteTina, the person who submitted the link to this site logged in once, and did nothing else but post this link.
A google search reveals nothing but a lot of posts on other sites promoting the 'space'. All of which appear to be spam posts in order to encourage members.
Conclusion: not a dodgy site, but don't expect to get work from it, or get anything of use about the Australian industry. It's just a place to meet other theatre people - American ones - and chat about things. Considering anyone and everyone can make a similar site (and has about 10% the number of members as this site - 1501 to our 10515), I say why bother?
