(preliminary page for entry about CrewSpace.com)

CrewSpace is the private social network for over 11,000 professional road crew in the music industry worldwide (and growing). Membership is by invitation only, which some say is restrictive, but ultimately it means that membership is very professional, and the site is remarkably spam free. There is no cost for membership, or to use the site.

It's like a private roadie myspace or facebook - users have customisable profiles that serve as mini-resumes, to which they can add photos, videos, music etc. All the usual aspects of a social network are present - profile comments, private messaging, blogs etc. Plus, there are many features tailored to touring life - production tools, mileage calculators, flight tracking, language translation, travel warnings, with more being added regularly. There is also the "Local" feature which works out where you are in the world, and presents you with local maps, weather and relevant information. There are company and venue directories, and a heavily used Jobs Board.

The Jobs Board
Both members and non-members can post jobs, but only members can apply. This means that management and record labels can post Jobs, and be assured that only professionals will apply. Their time isn't wasted, and it's proving very popular. It's completely free to post and apply. Applications are managed online, with the member's profile information (basic CV / resume) available to the poster.
