TheBiz.Variety.com - Hollywood Gets Connected

So you wanna be the next Paris Hilton, DeNiro, or even a grip on the Steve Carrell project? Hollywood may appear all glitz and glam, but ask the army of waiters and waitresses along Ventura and Sunset, and they’ll tell you otherwise. It’s all about connections and the right ones are hard to come by. Now, there’s The Biz, a social network dedicated to show business. It’s brought to you by the folks at the ubiquitous Hollywood trade mag, Variety and it functions very much like any other social network. It’s got news, reviews, jobs, blogs, project and box office info, pics, videos, and anything else Hollywood that comes to mind. You can interact industry insiders, strike up new connections, make friends, and get your social networking on, Hollywood-style.

“Are you from The Biz? Want to be in The Biz? Or, just love The Biz? Then you need to get in THE BIZ. Simply set up you personal profile and connect with others in the entertainment industry.”

The Biz offers a great chance for young Hollywood neophytes to get together and forge their own connections. It may be a great place to get your next blockbuster started.

Will the Biz be successful? Will Hollywood insiders join? Or will it simply be like every other social networking site out there, full of people looking to get a foot in the door.
