Fringe Has A New MySpace

The talkback you never get at the festival!

this is totally going on my podcast! Blogging Fringe podcast started almost 10 years ago when a kid with a microphone wanted to see the Fringe have more of an online presence, and he dragged the artists and patrons kicking and screaming. Then YouTube, Facebook and Twitter exploded and the reviewers, artists, patrons and freaks were all getting online! Now after a 5 year hiatus, Ryan is going back to the roots and interviewing touring artists who are passing through Orlando on their way to Canada, Edinburgh, Australia and the rest of the globe.

It looks like our old acquaintance Mark Baratelli is now in charge of the Orlando Fringe's MySpace profile (and blogging?). Since things are beginning to take shape on that front, things will start to take shape here as well. I can't say when, but this site will be moving sometime before the end of the year so we can get some new software installed to help Fringe patrons and artists get a real dialogue going.

I don't think MySpace is going to be the only way for people to communicate like it was last year. Really, last year's online discussion took place between performers and geeks and a few of their friends who were on MySpace. This year things will be MySpace heavy, but that website is so horrible I think lots of people who just want quick info will be turned off by it. Some of my thoughts on this are presented in the Fringe Thinktank 01 podcast.
