//This is an ongoing project//
LobsBoston.com is an extension to the Lobs Social Media Family project, primarily serves LobsBoston, which broadcasts local news, events, entertainment information about Boston, MA. The main purpose of the website is to further promote the Bostonian culture to Chinese readers. The initial motivation to setup a website for LobsBoston is that social media websites have many restrictions, including, but not limited to, word count limits, reliabilities, etc. Especially on Weibo.com, the Chinese-Twitter, some regulations are annoying and hinders its growth as a social media website.
