Ypulse Essentials

The new face of university admissions (Ypulse reader and George Mason Dean of Admissions Andrew Flagel sent me a link to his admissions site. Note the use of podcasts, video and mobile content. He calls it a "multi-channel" approach. Definitely a school that gets it. Also, The Stanford Daily is texting students the news.) (via Textually)
- I don't know if it will be the iPod killer (but the new Microsoft Zune site is pretty wild Update: Not sure how Zune-arts relates, but this is the actual Zune site)
- New study claims tobacco company anti-smoking ads don't work (they made teens want to smoke more…maybe they put subliminal messaging in there somewhere…) (BrandWeek)
- What's email? (a new study confirms that what started with my beloved PINE [email] is rarely used by teens today — they communicate more over IM, SMS and MySpace messages. But don't put the nail in email's coffin, they'll be forced to pick it up again as soon as they go to work.) (Extreme Tech)
- UK youth don't use condoms for the reasons you may think (startling new study says "some sexually active people under 25 years of age associate condoms with a lack of trust, while others believe carrying them could imply sexual experience, which might be a plus for men but not necessarily for women." Eek.) (Reuters via MSNBC)
- Inside GOOD (interview with the new idealistic capitalistic mag's publisher) (Emerge)
- CyWorld the new sensation? (Interesting BizWeek post on the Korean social networking site's U.S. launch - they employed L.A. youth marketing agency Look Look to educate them about American teens)
- Do not recruit (roughly half of students that can opt out of being recruited by the Army do) (USA Today)
- Over 'The O.C.' (the ratings are in and apparently "The O.C." is out with teens. Check out the rest of this week's teen TV ratings at Media Life Magazine)
