Can you think of anything crazier than launching a new website in 2008 without a blog? Leave it to Tom Cruise’s web team to do just that.

His Scientology handlers must be working on his SEO optimization; type in “Tom Cruise” in Google Search - and his paid sponsoruddy ads pop up at the top of the search results. It directs surfers to a new official TomCruise.com launching soon… Some of the google ads say “Get the genuine scoop from Tom Cruise. Stay Tuned For Official Site Launch” “The Countdown is On. TomCruise.com launches May 5th. Get the scoop!” and “The Official Site Launches Soon. You’ll Never Guess What’s Coming!”

The unhappy thing about this exciting new website is there isn’t a blog which would have made the website much more interesting. Instead, there is a “Message From Tom” section which is similar to what other stars like Britney Spears have on their websites. The message was created in Flash. Tom Cruise’s message basically says that he really enjoys making movies and he hopes to bring us yet more excellent movies. It would have been useful if bloggers could have linked people directly to this message but they can’t because Tom Cruise’s webmasters think Flash is more important than function.
