New Media Guide Website Launched

Posted on March 25, 1998

The New Media Guide, a website directory for professionals in all facets of the Internet, was launched today as a solution for the industry's burgeoning development needs, it was announced by Dan Rosenbaum, founder and Editor-In-Chief.

With free registration for listings, and using a "people-to-people" format, The New Media Guide has been designed to facilitate contact between everyone involved in the world's fastest-growing industry -- "from programmers and artists to producers and CEOs" -- to complete their projects in a timely and cost-effective manner.

According to Rosenbaum, the facts of Internet business life today provided the platform for this innovative launch. "Most members of the New Media community are more identified as individuals rather than as parts of companies," he explained. "Working alone," he added, "it's difficult for these professionals to keep up with the industry's rapid changes, or even find each other both for work or the exchange of ideas and information."

Coupled with the fact that companies today are less dependent on full-time employees and increasingly need to find talent on a project basis, Rosenbaum noted that The New Media Guide represents "the revolutionary missing link in the evolution of the industry."

To register with The New Media Guide, users simply complete a registration form and select from one of approximately 100 different professional specialties. Registrations are confirmed via an e-mail containing a unique URL, and registrants are encouraged to regularly update their listings. In addition, members are rewarded for contributing their own links and referring new members, which adds to the web of relationships, experiences and connections from which all members can benefit.
