The Bwog
The Bwog is the blog of The Blue and White magazine, centered on campus news and gossip. It was launched on January 30th, 2006.[1] Some consider it to be snotty and elitist. Others consider it witty and entertaining. Most people read it regardless.
Bwog launched into fame in October 2006 with its nearly real-time coverage of the Minuteman stage-rush incident. A popular sister blog launched in 2008 to cover the exploits of Hawkmadinejad. A major redesign unveiled on January 1, 2009 has received mixed reviews. In August 2010, the site moved from Bwog.net to Bwog.com, for unclear reasons.
Its current editor in chief is Eliza Shapiro (CC '11), who succeeds James Downie, Juli Weiner, Lydia DePillis, and Bwog founder Taylor Walsh.
The Bwog recently celebrated its 100,000th entry comment.
