Warner Bros. to launch networking site

From the MiamiHerald.com

LOS ANGELES --

Warner Bros. plans to launch a Web site early next year that will allow users to interact with its cast of animated characters, create personal profiles and watch original online episodes.

The advertising-supported site will be called T-Works and will launch next spring, the company, a division of Time Warner Inc., said Thursday.

Besides serving as a destination for fans of such characters as Tweety Bird, Bugs Bunny and the Flintstones, the site also will allow users to personalize the characters and take them off site to decorate Web pages and profiles on social networking sites such as MySpace.

Users also will be able to create their own profiles and use such standard social networking tools as online chats.

The site will enable Warner Bros. to market toys, books and movies from its various divisions, including DC Comics, which serves as the home to Batman and Superman.

"T-Works will offer original entertainment content, social interaction and an intimacy with our beloved and iconic characters like never before in an environment that's safe and appropriate for all ages," said Lisa Judson, president of Warner Bros. Animation.

While the site will let users adopt a cartoon personality, or avatar, and interact with others on the site, it will also include filters, parental controls and other safeguards, the company said.

Video channels will include original shows made for the site as well as games. Users also can accumulate points that can be redeemed for items to decorate their T-Works profile.

Social Networking Sites Entice Wall Street

Analysis: Investors keep watch as Classmates.com may become the first to go public.

By Georg Szalai and Paul Bond - Analysis

NEW YORK/LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Social networking Web sites have fired up industry deal headlines the past couple of years -- from News Corp.'s ground-breaking acquisition of MySpace to the recent purchases by the Walt Disney Co. and Viacom Inc.'s Logo network of Club Penguin and DowneLink.com, respectively.

Now it looks as if social networking could heat up the market for initial public offerings.

United Online Inc., a provider of consumer Internet and media services, recently registered for an IPO of its Classmates Media Corp. arm, which operates networking site Classmates.com.

Wall Street observers believe Classmates could test the IPO waters for a couple of other big names: Facebook, which has emerged as the biggest challenger to MySpace, and the more business-oriented LinkedIn.

Add to that comments from the CEO of U.K. social networking powerhouse Bebo.com about a possible IPO, and one gets the potential for a social networking feeding frenzy on the Street.

Amid the current global debt market jitters, some have suggested that IPO deal flow could slow as investors focus on conservative, known stock plays. Others point out that there has been little to no effect on the IPO market, which has sizzled this year but is on its traditional mid-August through Labor Day break as investment bankers go on vacation.
