Jay, In the film part, it is set up for people to network and communicate with other people in the industry from festival people to filmmakers, editors, actors etc. It is just another avenue where people communicate. It also is a place that people use to brand themselves in a sense. Meeting others and getting others to know them and their work.
When you have a community that is drawn together for a common goal, it is much easier to achieve that goal than on a standard blog where one has to hope that someone finds them. I think you see a lot of indie people on there with that strong desire to network, communicate etc. I have used it for casting, networking around this new doc that I'm shooting and it has been amazing actually from dealing with subjects, crew and actors on various projects. I've also been contacted for projects to collaborate on that are quite exciting. The blog itself isn't that much different than a normal blog except for the context that it exists within. This context is for networking and the blogs tend to be driven towards the project that you are working on. In the regular myspace world, not the film or the music, it's just a place where people are hooking up with old friends or new friends/dating potentials. All in all it is a pretty amazing concept that seems to be drawing a ton of attention obviously and has proven to be a great marketing tool for the music and film industry.
