It's hip to be square (or trippy - check out Scion's wild new website)
- Coming soon: Planet Cazmo (another entrant in the teen/tween virtual worlds space - thanks Kyle!)
- Emo = cutting? (Is there really this strong of a connection between Emo identified teens and cutting/suicide?) (YouTube from a local news story via Fimoculous)
- Book publishing 2.0 (pubs join the MySpace ecosystem with widgets. Plus looks like MySpace is beginning to block some of the widget makers. I alluded to this possibilty in my BizWeek column)
- Pop culture is like potato chips (Wired's package on how movies, TV, songs, games now come "packaged like cookies or chips, in bite-size bits for high-speed munching." Plus check out their list of the best indie games of 2007)
- Prom is the new wedding (especially as women continue to wait longer to wed. Media Post, reg. required, reviews MyProm)
- Seventeen.com relaunching next week (I'm sure Ann just loves being referred to as "the new Atoosa") (Fishbowl NY)
- Charge! (Ypulse advertiser Trendcentral rounds up the new pre-paid credit cards)
- The eye of the tiger (Britney's back…at least online)
P.S. A commenter from South Africa over at Totally Wired said they have cell phone lockers!
