EA has finally jumped on the social networking site bandwagon by launching the simsonstage.ea.com site. Ofcourse I signed up!!! :-)
They just realized that simmers are a ready made community/social network that just needs transposing to an official networking site... that allows others to join - without having to register a bought game. Ha ha ha!
Fact is, the sims/sims2 sites are already social networking sites ... what with the exchange, the commenting on blogs, the BBS - same stuff you find on other sites.
SimsOnStage is actually a fun site ... I just started looking around and enjoyed the karaoke page ... EA has a list of music you can sing to, complete with lyrics scrolling across the screen. If you think you're good enough or just in it for fun, you can record yourself singing to the song and post it so others can view your clip and rate you. Lovely, eh?
