  I recently joined a company called Mixr Media, which builds online communities for niche audiences.  Currently, Mixr runs three sites:

  Asian news and entertainment - www.ningin.com

  Gadgets and consumer electronics - www.jetdrop.com

  Cars and auto industry - www.ziggytek.com

  I'm still working in the film industry, but this was a really interesting opportunity that I couldn't pass up.  Hope you can check them out!  And we're always looking for bloggers to add to these sites, so if you're interested, send me a message...
