Defamer's New Media Tuesdays: Bisexual Search Engines And Hollywood Biz Boards
Because we here at Defamer are committed to leaving virtually no stone unturned in our efforts to bring you the latest in life-easifying web-based conveniences (so long as that stone is brought to our attention via e-mailed press release), we now pass along two such applications.
First, we have SearchWithTilaTequila.com, described as "a fan-oriented search engine that rewards her fans with very exclusive, limited edition Tila merchandise and prizes." Sure, you might find at first that the Shot At Love star's search client isn't quite as robust as the one you use already: Nine out of ten searches, after all, bring you to the Fox's U-Bet fetishist's MySpace page. Still, if you're looking for the best fake-bisexual-endorsed celebrity search engine currently on the internet, this is probably in the top five or six.
A first look at Variety's new virtual community for Hollywood's unemployeds is after the jump!
The Biz, meanwhile, is a bold new social networking experiment from your friends at Variety: Think Second Life married with the screenwriter-heavy Starbucks at Santa Monica and Bundy. Besides offering helpful dictionary-quality definitions to must-know industry buzzwords like "connect," "careers," and "community," the homepage also offers this enticing promotional copy:
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 your personal profile and connect with others in the entertainment industry.
What strikes us about that—beyond the fact that if you say the words "The Biz" repeatedly, they quickly lose all sense of meaning and start sounding really weird—is that short of the UTA joblist and the Defamer Job Board (do we still do that? No? OK, then! Moving along), just how badly our community was in need of such a service—if for nothing more than facilitating meet n' greets between industry vets like user XMN3VISNARY, and the legions of aspiring starlets and D-cup-girls hoping to get a foothold into an extremely insular business.
