"Schoolboy Father" and other after-school specials now in new DVD set (Slate reviews the taboo-busting TV of our childhood)
- Who doesn't have a social networking/video site? (Not FoxAtomic - they just jumped on the bandwagon with a video remix site geared to its 17-24-year old target audience. Other sites emailed to me in the past DAY include: Piczo, a photo community big in Japan and the UK and Doostang, which connects young grads with recruiters. Oh and MTV is feeling the pinch - they have the research, just not the sites…..yet. Verizon and Cingular are getting into the space [of course], too) (MediaPost, reg. required) (Lost Remote) (Marketing Vox) (ClickZ) (plus tips from Ypulse readers Dave and Chelsea!)
- Twenty-two percent of college students write blogs (new study of co-ed internet use from Experience, Inc.) (iMedia Connection)
- SchoolSports to 'Rise' in September (mag gets renamed) (MediaWeek)
- Tween athletes don't get a break (many are sent to jock camps to continue practicing their sport) (New York Times, reg. required)
- L.A. Times blogs Comic-Con (worth following for those in the entertainment biz)
- Supply & Demand (has anyone heard of these guys or have a link to their site? Tommy Jones, Todd Smith and Damien Eastman…in their early 20s, now own a graphic design, media and marketing company, Supply & Demand…sell T-shirts with images of late civil rights leaders Rosa Parks and Coretta Scott King) (The Daily Press)
