Pal-Item takes a seat at the kiddies’ table
Not to be left in the dust by modern conventions, the Pal-Item today announces its new venture into the netherworld of youth culture: P-I grabs a spot on MySpace.
I’m not sure why the paper takes on the identity of a male, nor do I see how listing yourself at age 100 will appeal to youth, but the paper already has 108 friends listed at its page: http://www.myspace.com/pal_item. Not only that, but due to the standard features over at myspace, the paper now has a blog. The specifics are not clear from the article, but it appears that Pal-Item staffer Harmony Marsh will be the blogger. Here is the feed: rss.
I’m not too sure how receptive the local youth will be to their new public friend. From my vantage point, most local myspace users appreciate being able to hook up online, publicly grouse about their friends, parents and teachers, all without the adults in the community knowing what is going on. I’m sure some local teachers at the high school would be surprised by what a Google search would turn up on them.
