TrendCentral: From giants MySpace and Facebook to niche sites Sneakerplay and SportsMates, it seems almost every group has a place to connect online. Adding a new twist to the basic social networking platform are the following temporary sites, which utilize user profiles as a basis for stardom and give members the power to decide who they want to see on the big screen.
Islandoo: The concept behind this site is to find candidates for the UK reality TV show Shipwrecked (similar to Survivor). Users of this temporary site create a profile with photo and video and can then opt to become a fan of other users. The profiles that attract the most fans score an audition for the show. And it’s generating serious buzz—just two weeks after its launch, the site garnered 800,000 daily page views.
