As the subway romance turns

Remember the wide-eyed innocence during the early days of the Moberg-Hayton Love on the 5 Train story? Well, after a few weeks of speculation and rumors of a movie deal later, Matt Elzweig at the New York Press weighs in with a piece that examines the movers and shakers behind the subway romance. It sounds like Mr. Moberg wasn’t as earnest as he seemed at first, and unsurprisingly, the folks involved are very good at gaining attention for themselves. A few of this tale’s principles even conveniently forgot to mention how they knew each other. It’s a Web 2.0 world, and we just ride the subways in it. [New York Press]
