CONCEPT OF iTALENTSTAR iTALENTSTAR is an online talent competition involving participants from four Southeast Asian countries: Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines - an interactive experience that kicks off from 22 February 2008. The first talent competition of its kind in Asia, iTALENTSTAR is held in collaboration with Friendster – the No. 1 online social networking portal in Southeast Asia. With over 28.4 millions unique users globally and 25 millions across the asia pacific regions,the Friendster network promises to make iTALENTSTAR a talent search of unprecedented proportions. Targeting internet-savvy socially-active networkers of minimum 16 years of age, iTALENTSTAR seeks to uncover the hidden talents behind the web. Propelling Personal Media To The Next Height The vision of iTALENTSTAR is to showcase online users’ grasp of Web 2.0 technology – also known as User-Generated Content Creation that includes online video, photos, and blogging. In iTALENTSTAR, the contestants (known as iTALENTS) display their dynamic personalities and creative wit as they undergo a series of ‘challenges’ that stimulate self-expression and the uniqueness of the individual. We now live in a truly “digital” era, where society’s dependence and, interestingly, its use of technology are overwhelming. The paradigm has shifted such that our consumption of traditional, mass media (television, radio and print) has become nearly replaced by that of online, personal media – i.e. internet media that we digest at our own time and in the mode that we deem meaningful. Likewise, the communicative methods people employ over time have changed. The online-savvy users today embrace personal media – e-mail, instant messaging and Web 2.0 technology – to share their passions and ideas. But who are those people who aspire the most number of others with their passion and outlook? These are the people iTALENTSTAR aims to discover. In iTALENTSTAR, we marry this new generation of empowering individuals who yearn to create their own contents, within a competitive environment. iTALENTSTAR will steer social networkers towards a new wave of personal media, which will no doubt sweep the online community and further its progress towards a more dynamic and technologically sophisticated society. Overview The competition kicks off with 10 male and 10 female contestants selected from each country’s pool of star-wannabes. They compete to knock out their opponents through 4 rounds of provoking challenges before fighting it out to become the Champions representing their country, and eventually defeating their overseas counterparts in the final challenge to ascend the throne as the Asia iTALENSTARS (1 male and 1 female). While the iTALENTSTAR competition is open only to Friendster members residing in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines, online users from Asia and beyond are welcomed to participate in the voting. Bringing together talent, creativity and fraternal spirits between countries, iTALENTSTAR has created a new platform for sharing one’s gifts and culture, communicating between friends, and most of all, having all kinds of fun. *Computer end log*
