MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., April 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Friendster, the easiest
way to stay in touch with your friends, today announced it is working in
conjunction with FOX to promote its upcoming series, 'Stacked,' through
the use of Friendster Blogs, a free weblogging service that enables
members to create and share online journals and photo albums. More than
thirty members of the cast and crew, including 'Stacked' star Pamela
Anderson, have Friendster profiles and blogs, providing insight and images
on the making of the show, and a look at what's going on behind the
scenes.
"FOX's primary imperative when launching a new series is to make
noise that compels viewers to notice both the show and its cast,"
said Chris Carlisle, executive vice president, marketing for FOX.
"Creating buzz is key to generating interest from our youthful
audience, and we believe Friendster will provide an interactive connection
between 'Stacked' fans, the cast and the team responsible for creating the
show. Then, as the season unfolds, dedicated fans will be able to follow
along with exclusive, up-to-date, behind-the-scenes information and
insight."
"Blogs are today's hottest form of self-expression and
communication," said Scott Sassa, chief executive officer at
Friendster. "We are proud to be breaking ground with FOX and the
'Stacked' team as they use blogs to share their personal experience of
what it's like to make a hit comedy. We'd like to thank everyone involved
for their hard work and creativity to make this really innovative
experience so compelling."
