Yesterday, Variety, in association with Jobster, launched The Biz, the first social networking website for the entertainment business.

The Biz seeks to serve as on online community for media professionals who can, among other things, search for jobs, pitch projects and exchange ideas.

It also will serve as a venue for job recruiters who will be able to find candidates based on specific interests, skills and levels of experience.

If you want to join but don't want to fill out yet another profile (and who does?), Variety will kindly import your data from Facebook or LinkedIn.
