MySpace a place for friends

www.ReppingBeantown.com initially launched on the internet one year ago on March 12th 2007 by founder Angella. The goals and vision that the young Bostonian had for the site were pretty much self-explanatory from the get-go ;judging from the name she picked ,ReppingBeantown. If you ask Angella what pursued her to start with this website, she will simply tell you “I wanted to rep my town!” But overtime, between maintaining a job, classes,friends,family amongst other things, these goals were not executed in the right direction. She began to find her self in the wide range pool that the average bloggers falls into, strictly entertainment. Instead of directing her entries on the happenings and talents in Boston, these entries began to lay focus on the entertainment in the hip-hop industry. “In a lot of ways, I became attached to that type of news for my site” she says. It wasn’t until she became part of a supportive group of bloggers in the urban community, she realized that her audience was not the only audience she was aiming for and sadly not satisfied with the numbers. “The Urbanblogger.com opened my eyes to a lot of things, people there are amazing, helpful,and hilarious! If it wasn’t for them, I would of probably gave up on my site and put my focus elsewhere” Seeing that she had the resources, she partnered up with Jessica one of Boston hottest graphic&print designer, owner of www.Urbanized.net. “Me and Jessica were constantly emailing each other and talking on the phone about the plans we had to collide both sites together. Being that she had the same goals that I did,which was to put boston on the map. We aimed as best as we could to play our cards right and, make this into a successful venture.It was great! I gave her tips, she gave me tips, it was just a huge collaboration on both ends.” In addition to relaunching the site in mid August 2008, she divided the site into 7 sections: * Boston News * Music Rep * Boston Hot Spot * Trends and Beauty Rep * Gossip Rep * Reviews * Entertainment Boston News is a collection of all the latest news in Boston, starting from Dorchester to Mattapan, Hyde Park to so forth. Music Rep is a collection of all the brand new joints in the urban-pop industry. Music Rep will not just lay focus on Boston music, but in the entire U.S. as well. Boston Hot Spot is a collection of all the hottest events/parties in Boston. Starting from boat cruises, carnivals, local artist mixtapes releases and so forth! Trends & Beauty Rep is a collection of all the hottest,latest,dopest trends in everyday living. Starting from Home make-overs, Beauty, Clothing,styling and so forth! It is guaranteed to be the number one attraction on the site so far. Gossip Rep is a collection of all the latest gossip in the entertainment business, locally and beware you might even find your own dirt here if you don’t hide it well ;) Reviews Rep is a collection of movies,books, album reviews in the urban realm. Entertainment / Feature article is what is, strict entertainment for all our readers,gossipers,supporters and so much more! “I could not leave my readers behind no way!. I started to think out of the box now,including entries that the average person can relate to and benefit from. We are looking forward to doing something that we love and reach out to our fellow bostonian, urban entertainment addicts, business, bloggers in the process.”
