While one team focused on on-line classified advertising and another on free-time entertainment activities, Pierce and his teammates devoted their time to developing the "wild card" category specific to the Boston site.
"There are over 250,000 students in the greater Boston area," Pierce said. "And we feel their presence colors the whole culture of the city."
Pierce added that while the category already caters to a variety of student interests, student participation and feedback is encouraged.
"We're trying to establish personal connections with students so that specific clubs or individuals can post events on-line," Pierce said. "That way, campus organizations could maximize attendance while creating an inter-campus unity that would enhance the campus experience for everyone."
Collet and Pierce said Yahoo's primary local competition will be boston.com, a site designed and serviced by The Boston Globe with powerful news and graphics resources.
