Stop the presses. College students of Gainesville will soon be altering their daily Internet routines. Yes, they will continue to check their email every 15 minutes, only to delete useless listservs that flood their inboxes. And yes, for now, Facebook remains the primary tool to fuel procrastination. Though, I predict that change is coming. In next to no time, they will be adding The Gainesvillains’ blog to the mix.
The blog, updated by the premiere DJs of Gainesville, is like Facebook’s News Feed except for the fact that it’s actually relevant. Stay up-to-date with local entertainment and be the first to know about upcoming concerts. Preview original tracks and excellent remixes produced by The Gainesvillains themselves. Or, if you’re in for a laugh there’s plenty of witty social commentary to go around. Either way, you will be in the know. When your friend stops you in Turlington Plaza and asks, “Did you hear?” you can confidently proclaim, “I heard about that two weeks ago. The Gainesvillains told me so!”
To apply the Google method, The Gainesvillains plan on cementing that human connection. There is already plenty of searchable content available for mass distribution. You can become a fan on Facebook, listen to tracks on Myspace, relive past events via Flickr, and even tweet your heart out. So, to stimulate more attention from readers in this niche market, more collaborative and interactive media is needed. To piggyback on the success of the Asian Gaga promotional video, The Gainesvillains hope to extend their presence on YouTube by creating humorous weekly video blogs focused on Gainesville life. Do help spread the word. It is inevitable. The Gainesvillains’ blog will soon replace Facebook as the UF student’s homepage.

I just went to your blog because I wanted to be the first to know about upcoming concerts, but the first thing I read was “If you weren’t at Common Grounds last night you might as well go home and watch Moulin Rouge.”
So I want you to know that I just watched Moulin Rouge, and it wasn’t that bad. It kind of reminds me of your blog post about Valentine’s day, except that you completely forgot to include good music. Come On!! At least give me a Lady Gaga song!!!!
Jeff,
I’m not in charge of the blog’s material, but I will let Shaan know that more music content is needed. Thanks for your feedback.
Thanks Jackie
