Get ready to join a new social network! As I said last week, Disney.com has been hard at work creating a new website re-design. Taking inspiration from MySpace and Xbox Live, they have created a very large site that will allow for social networking.
Just as Walt Disney did with the entrance to the theme parks, Mr. Iger says, they wanted to create a “wow factor” when users first enter the site. Mr. Yanover’s team organized the home page by subject for adults and by character for kids. They also created six categories covering preschool; boys; girls; older kids and teens; families; and older Disney fans.
With this, Narnia fans will have yet another, albeit official Disney website, way to communicate. Rest assured, we’ll be there as soon as it’s ready to go! Watch for it! See also the Wall Street Journal for more on the new Disney.com!
