More than anything, Boston.com is a daily lifeline - a news and information intravenous - for the people of New England. Created in 1995 as the online extension of The Boston Globe, Boston.com has become a community unto itself, morphing into one of the largest regional portals in the country.

Boston.com is part of New York Times Digital, the Internet division of The New York Times Company (NYSE: NYT). New York Times Digital (NYTD) includes market leaders NYTimes.com, Boston.com and an archive distribution business. NYTD's mission is to provide a high-quality, worldwide online audience with trusted editorial content from The New York Times and The Boston Globe.

The core components of Boston.com include up-to-the-minute news and information (both original and from the Globe), award-winning sports coverage, weather and traffic. Specialized sections such as digitalMASS (the site for tech professionals in Massachusetts), MP3 (the pulse of Boston's local music scene), Arts & Entertainment (Boston's most comprehensive guide to social activities), and Travel (a place to plan a trip round) enhance and deepen our site.

Our user-friendly classified sections include the largest database of local job openings, a huge selection of automobiles from local dealers, many of the area's premier Real Estate listings (including homes and apartments), and personals.

In addition, Boston.com aims to provide fun and informative interactive features including polls, contests, chats, and a community network, Abuzz.com, where users get answers to their questions, help others, and join discussions on issues of the day.
