About



Just what does Box Of M.E.S.S. stand for you ask? Well M.E.S.S. stands for Music, Entertainment, Sports and Stuff. The stuff represents the variety of categories that we offer. The background behind this big success was two high school students from New Jersey who were very bored over their Spring Break. One of the students had previously started a blog but he did not have the proper motivation or tools to keep it running. Influenced by her friend’s college blog, Erin asked Alex if he wanted to start a blog/site and because of his previous blog experience and her determination and drive, the two started the blog and it took off from there.

When Box Of M.E.S.S. came out on WordPress it had over 1,200 views in one week of action. After that, the co-creators decided this would be legit and bought the legal rights to the domain boxofmess.com instead of just having boxofmess.wordpress.com. Views started out very slow but as they found more writers within their realm of friendship and connections, views and popularity went up. Along with that, they created a few pages devoted to the site on Facebook, Myspace and Twitter which all have a signifigant amount of fans.

Over 800 posts and hundreds of thousands ofviews later, boxofmess.com has become a very reliable name within the blogging industry. Although it has not been sponsored yet, the site has already received many accalaids that it is very proud of. At points, views went into the thousands per day! The site is famous, however, for its notorious interviews with athletes, musicians, actors and writers. Most notably are the interviews with some of the top high school and college basketball players in the nation.

One “infamous” yet “classic” interview with Harrison Barnes, the #1 player in the class of 2010 for high school basketball, got M.E.S.S. over 5,000 views along with being mentioned on over 50 websites including: Scout.com, Rivals.com, ESPN.com, ASeaOfBlue.com (3 times), StraitPinkie.com, KentuckySportsRadio.com (3 times), and Zagsblog.com (4 times). If you want to view our article on zagsblog.com then go to http://www.zagsblog.com/2009/06/19/johnson-to-clemson-top-tweets-from-nba-camp/. We are the middle article.
