After watching the 1st annual auction on NewTV we went to check out the studios. This is partly…read morebecause I was the auction winner on some cool things like car wash vouchers and a salon gift certificate. My boyfriend was the proud winner of a four foot long sub! So off we went to claim our winnings and what we found was a state of the art television and editing facility in our own backyard. We were so impressed that we have signed up for an orientation session so we can become volunteers and a yearly membership is only $20. That gives you access to cameras, microphones, editing suites and more. I guess I will have to brush up on my Final Cut Pro editing skills.

Remember that show that was on TV where some people would intentionally watch a movie they didn't…read morelike, then complain to one another that they were watching a movie they didn't like, making jokes to one another so they felt like they were funny? Now there's a newspaper version. The Weekly Dig used to have at least one article each issue -- several, usually -- that actually *added* something to the world, rather than simply comment on, complained about, or advertised it. But no, actual original content has fallen far down the ladder behind "personality" pieces -- articles in which the real subject is the author him/herself, and the purported topic is just the vehicle for this person to showcase their idea of how funny/annoyed/cool they want you to know they are. In fact it's sort of like this one web site that's popular nowadays, you know the one... Seriously, it goes out of its way to make Stuff at Night look sincere. Is that really worth the trouble?

I'm looking at this star-rating thing wondering what to say needs improving on The Dig to justify…read moreonly giving in 4 out of 5, and I'm drawing a blank. Too many adverts? Not really - compared to other freebie magazines it's far more reasonable. Too short? Nope - that's a bonus for me - a svelte tome is much more up my street than a hefty wad. Too immature and snarky? Come on, we're on Yelp here - that's our style too. So 5 out of 5 it is. Keep up the great work and the great artwork. Now give me a job please.

WUMB is the college radio station for the University of…read moreMassachusetts in Boston. UMass Boston students can apply to DJ for WUMB, which can be priceless training for the radio industry. THE DEAL: This indie station is the perfect place for local musicians to get some airplay for their music!

I *love* folk, and I love independent radio- so I should be an avid WUMB listener, but I'm not- and…read moreif they can't capture MY listenership, then who the heck is listening?! Let me start at the beginning- there's a lot I like about WUMB. They play a lot of indie singer-songwriters (and some established ones), and they're remained true to their folk roots. They are not overrun by corporate nonsense. The downside: WUMB feels REALLY old. I have no empirical evidence for this, but my gut is that the average age of listeners is somewhere in the 50-65 bracket. While I appreciate that they have remained faithful to the WUMB formula, and have refused to sell out (i.e. I hate the new WERS and really miss the days when ERS had actual SHOWS!), I also can't help but wonder if their staunch adherence to a very old formula isn't going to eventually kill the station. Why not have a few DJs who seem a bit younger? WHy not invite more community participation? They just seem like they need a bit of fresh air for the next decade...

I've worked with Amanda on several projects - I could not be happier with the results. She helped…read morewith every aspect from the content which was engaging and beautifully written, to selecting the perfect accompanying images to helping me distribute it. Amanda was incredibly responsive and went above and beyond giving guidance on promoting the content, integrating it with my social media and more. I am thrilled and could not recommend her highly enough.

Faced with the overwhelming task of completely re-thinking and re-writing my website, I hired…read moreAmanda to help. It's unusual when someone meets your expectations but Amanda totally exceeded them. She helped me understand how my website could deliver better results and then took on the task of developing, writing and editing text that would have taken me years to get to. She understood what I was looking for and delivered in the exact time she promised and somehow understood exactly what I was looking for even when I wasn't great at communicating my thoughts. Amanda then worked to develop concepts and executable plans for my advertising campaign. I can't say enough great things. Not only is Amanda smart, thoughtful and capable, she's a delight to work with....and no, I'm not related to her!
