The Uncool Kids Will Save Us
My friend Shannon Paige just received a terrific review from The Blog Reader. One year ago, Shannon opened up the website Uncoolkids.com--spotlighting crazy events around New York City that don't get picked up by the cool kids who run the major media outlets.

Check out her success story, it's an example of how a fledgling writer can create a bustling community from scratch, using the web and a little help from their friends.

But don't take my word for it...

"'Well, a lot of the stuff I originally posted was more
science-based,' Shannon explained. 'A lot of science lectures, readings and book signings… And I thought, ‘There have to be other people out there who are uncool kids like me, and, if so, this will be the site for them.’

"Uncool Kids now has a devoted following. Many readers seek advice for nighttime activities, sending Shannon e-mails just before they leave work. She happily obliges with suggestions."
