[Boston-editorial] center?

[Pete Stidman]

I stongly feel that "contextualizing" a review is
highly unnecessary.  I was going to center this thing
before this discussion, but stopped when I saw that it
was a repost.  I like the idea of original content.  

This idea of centering book and movie reviews was
passed through the meeting long ago so I am surprised
at least matt doesnt remember this.  I actually talked
to the group about encouraging Lucy Parsons Members to
post reviews with the Lucy Parsons bookstore tag on
the end so that the two groups were kinda cooperating
on helping the store get some attention.  

We've also centered a review or two before, lik
Jamie's review of a parenti book about Iraq.  And
hell, no matter where you live, everybody reads right?
 

I'm going to be a real strong strong fighter against
any return to the policy that everything has to
mention Boston.  That is a limit on the entire network
that is killing it. With RSS the whole network should
be sharing news around the country and the world, not
jealously guarding their own jurisdictions.  

I can explain this idea fully better in person, but
the new dev site incorporates some of what I am
talking about by including features from all over the
world and country.  

Maybe we should go over this idea and direction at the
next web meeting so sharpie and other newcomers to
Boston understand where were coming from?
