Posted by anastasia on 10-13-2008
Bruce Springstein may be playing the Super Bowl (but we know tweens and teens will now be tuning into the Jonas Bros. who will be playing the half-time show at the Thanksgiving Day game between the Dallas Cowboys and the Seattle Seahawks) (MTV News)
- Atoosa weighs in on Cosmo Girl’s print demise (via her MySpace blog. And American Girl is discontinuing its Samantha doll)
- Youth are heaviest viewers… (of online video. duh. eMarketer stats on who is watching how much. Plus SNL to launch a video site. And YouTube stars SMOSH, a teen favorite, partner with DECA, a new media production studio) (Alley Insider) (NewTeeVee)
- Frugal teens (are now a “trend,” according to the New York Times Sunday Styles section, reg. required.)
- Green trend report (scenarioDNA has a nice Power Point on this topic.)
- MySpace offers MyAds (hmmmm….this may increase concerns about behavioral targeting of teens. Plus the internet’s role in a high profile Korean suicide. And for everyone with an itchy email trigger finger, Google is working on gmail goggles) (Media Post, reg. required)
- Students still outpacing teachers (when it comes to tech in the classroom. And if you haven’t already, tell teens to turn their iPods down….) (Ars Technica) (BBC)
- The youth agenda (according to Generation Vote – thanks Andrea!. And on a totally less serious note, a Hot or Not knockoff rating Democrats vs. Republicans)
- New youth created community (Puget Sound-Off)
