USA Creates MySpace-Like Site For Viewers

usa_characters.jpg

If something can attract 60 million to it, there must be something goo about it. We;re thinking that’s the thinking behind the USA Network’s launch of ShowUsYourCharacter, a site that features character from USA shows but also mimics the social community aspects of MySpace and other similar operations. On ShowUsYourCharacter, visitors can dig deep into the profiles of their favorite characters and then set up a profile of their own to highlight their uniqueness.

While the site is about creating a community, the network is also hoping to collect and identify profiles of unique individuals who, upon submitting a video and statement, will be selected as winners with the Grand Prize winner appearing in an on-air USA campaign. With Tagworld, Facebook, MySpace, Orkut, LinkedIn, Friendster and others, there seems to be no end to people’s willingness to place themselves in front of the world for all to see. No doubt, USA will see return on this effort.
