Posted by anastasia on 11-03-2008Only 2 days left until the Ypulse Youth Marketing Mashup East I will be traveling tomorrow but Meredith will be posting tomorrow and Wednesday. We won't be sending the newsletter Thursday or Friday but will post a live blog from the event written by our volunteer Derek Baird. You can also follow attendee tweets on Twitter using #ymme.
What will become of Obama's massive texting db? (The Washington Post, reg. required, speculates..The New York Times, reg. required, on how web 2.0 has transformed this election. Don Tapscott on how Obama has successfully spoken to the Net Generation. From the mouths of babes – The Washington Post interviews kids about the election. And a teen speaks out on NPR about election tension amongst the non-voting set) (Media Life Magazine)

- Virgin's Facebook snafu (interesting write-up on how Virgin America's Atlantic's firing of employees after they complained about customers on Facebook speaks to the need for better "internal" networks) (ZDNet)

- CBS winning over younger viewers (with formulaic sitcoms and crime shows a la TV comfort food. The CW orders more "Gossip Girl," "One Tree Hill" and "90210."

The Virgin-Facebook snafu is about Virgin Atlantic and not Virgin America. Had to specify since I'm a big fan of that particular domestic airline. :-)
