I'd like to take this opportunity to let you know of a new site I've been working on for the past couple of months.  The site will revolve around telenovelas, the actors and their fans. 

While looking around the web, I noticed there are few places where telenovela fans can discuss what is going on with the novelas they watch, as well as their favorite actors.  For the most part, they were limited to the specific groups within a general interest sites (ala MySpace), or network sites where they had forums for the telenovelas they aired (Univision, Esmas).

I'm looking to create one central location where these fans can all gather and discuss any novela they like.

Some of the goals I've set out for the site include (in no particular order):

• One location where devoted and casual telenovela fans can find everything about their novelas. This includes new and classic novelas.
• Members will be able to discover other members they share interests with.  They'll be able to get suggestions based on their interests. In other words, try to make the site smart: Use member inputs to make recommendations
• Allow members to customize their profiles... without requiring technical knowledge
• Make it appealing to both women and men. While the novela audience skews female, there is a strong interest from men as well
• Have it in both English and Spanish. Since novelas address global social issues, fans in most countries can easily relate to the story line

I'm about 3/4 of the way through and hope to have it released by mid July.  For the time-being I'll leave the name a mystery and I'll refer to it as Project X until I have something to show. 

Will keep you updated,

- Andrés
