Our Latest & Greatest:

I love Boston. I was born here, raised here and live here now. The farthest away I ever got was a 4-year detour 90 miles west in Amherst. I've always been proud to call myself a Bostonian. From the history to culture to sports, I wouldn't want to call anyplace else home. However, I am now starting to question my pride in Boston. The reason? Reality television.

In an effort to attract newer, slightly older crowds MySpace is launching a campaign where users follow an engaged couple and help them plan their wedding. This is supposed to enhance MySpace’s image in hopes of making it a site that’s, “not just for teenagers”.

My feelings are a bit mixed about this idea. Sure, the idea sounds really cool and it is also really timely. With reality TV literally exploding in popularity before our eyes this idea sounds awesome. It’s like interactive reality TV! Also, what girl (which is who they are trying to target) doesn’t love a great wedding show? I am a sucker for ‘Who’s Wedding is it Anyway?” and “Bridezillas” myself. I think the idea of planning someone’s wedding online could be really exciting.
