WWE Smackdown Gets a Social Network

World Wrestling Entertainment has a pretty large fan base, and the sports entertainment company is hoping to leverage its loyal fans in the online sense as well. The official site of WWE has been around for some time, but after a few fan sites on other networks like MySpace and Facebook managed to gain a good number of users, WWE was further encouraged to add a community onto its own website.

The new community is an extension of the WWE Fan Nation, and lets you view fan profiles, stay updated with wrestlers’ activity, write blogs and share pictures. Nothing out of the ordinary here–it’s your run of the mill corporate-run social network. But having already gained a bit of traction from fan groups on Facebook, MySpace and its dedicated YouTube channel, it’s clear that a centralized place for WWE fans to network could be useful.

So given WWE’s existing traction on other social and media-sharing networks, I wish that the new WWE community were integrated with all these other networks. The users are already on Facebook and MySpace, so why not pull in or push out some of the activity and sharing that’s already going on? The ability to communicate news and updates is still just as effective with an integrated, cross-network approach.

I know that corporate run social networks are considered necessary for market research, advertising and feedback mechanisms that go towards branding purposes, but as brands also embrace the commercial promotion on social networking fan pages, I’d like to see some more effective integration across the board.

Lindsay Lohan Angry Over Michael Lohan Press Statements

Lindsay Lohan wants her father to shut up. The former Disney child star is growing tired of her Bible-thumping Pop’s routine statements to the media about every aspect of her life. In his most recent sermon to the press, Michael complained that Lindsay’s mom and manager, Dina Lohan, stole the idea for her new E! reality show from a series plot that he pitched to the network years ago. Michael is threatening to sue his wife over the reported breach.

“You know what I have to say about my father is that I just wish that he wouldn’t go and talk to the media as a parent,” Lindsay told Hollywood reporter Billy Bush during a phone interview for Billy’s new radio show “The Billy Bush Show.” “It is not attractive to me. It really upsets me, and I wish he would stop.”

Do we smell another Lohan estrangement coming on?

The Brooklyn Museum Lets the Crowd Curate a Show

These days everyone is a curator. If you talk to any social media entrepreneurs, chances are they will go on and on about how their Website is all about letting people “curate” the Web, whether that’s photos, videos, or news stories. It is usually code for:”Most people are too lazy to actually produce anything, but we let them organize and remix what other people have produced.” Who doesn’t love to remix?

Well, now you can actually do some real curating over the Web. The Brooklyn Museum is putting together a photography exhibit called Click, based on how people evaluate the submissions online. There was an open call for photographs of Brooklyn through March, and now through May anyone can register and vote on the entries. The photos that get the most votes will be shown in an actual exhibit this summer—when the actual curators are at the beach.
