DailyCandy, a fashion/food/beauty/etc. website about shit to buy and stuff to do, had divisions in several cities—until recently. The site will be closing down its Boston division (along with Miami, Dallas, DC, Atlanta, Seattle and Philadelphia) in 2010.

The back end software learns what you like by the way you vote on existing sites – TiVo for the interweb? Perhaps. Just about a year ago Reddit presented at the first (?) of what is now a monthly series Web Innovators meet-ups in Boston. The still informal series of meetings features self-funded and some venture capital based web sites and emerging technologies that hope to harness the wonders of the interweb.
Bostonist is never surprised by revelations about the current administration, so when we learned from local internet security expert Richard Smith that the White House web site uses cookies to keep track of the internet browsing activities of people who visit the site and other programs to keep possibly past content from being archived, well, we weren't like, "OMG!" (Full disclosure: In addition to his web sleuthing duties, Smith is our mother-in-law's husband.) But we...
The Massachusetts Innovation & Technology Exchange's 10th annual competition is coming and it is exciting! Just look at that orange X, nothing says excitement better then that! With all of this excitement you might forget that you don't even know what the MITX Awards are.
