For tourists, Boston is 2nd costliest US city, TripAdvisor says
Boston is the second most expensive US city for tourists, behind only
New York, according to a new survey from TripAdvisor Inc., a
Newton-based firm that offers online travel-recommendation services.
Rankings are based on how much it would cost a couple to stay in a
hotel, have dinner, and take a couple of cab rides. The amount for
Boston: $450. In New York, the same package would cost $457,
TripAdvisor said.

Get ready for a whole new wave of website addresses. By next year, the
Internet could have hundreds of new domain names -- the terms that
come after the dot in dot-com website addresses. On Wednesday, the
Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers revealed the names
of about 2,000 applicants seeking to administer new domains as part of
the biggest-ever expansion of Web addresses. On the list is The Boston
Globe, which has applied to run the domain .boston.
