Alec Shankman: Gotcast is the largest online interactive casting platform. But, we were able to into a huge event that we partnered with Lifetime and MySpace on, and we got 50,000 girls to try out in less than a week, with hundreds of thousands of people online as voters and fans, and we had millions of impressions surrounding the event.

The current huge players (MySpace, Facebook, etc.) Leverage an existing platform We've created Facebook applications and used Ning.
