Ypulse Essentials: Immigrant Teens, Too Much Girl Talk?, LC's Book Deal
Posted by anastasia on 09-11-2008
Immigrant teens (in the spirit of today being the anniversary of 9/11, I thought I would post this article about a photography exhibit in Los Angeles documenting the experience of new young Americans) (Jewish Journal)
- Too much girl talk? (I feel like this study has been out there for awhile…NY Times, reg. required, on how too much talking between girls can lead to anxiety/depression. Also in the Styles section, Twittering babies — parents starting that digital trail early)
- 'Sorority Forever' (goes mobile. I keep wanting to call this series "Sorority Fever" for some reason. And carriers adding mobile social networking to attract more young subscribers) (Media Post, reg. required)
- HarperCollins signs LC (Lauren Conrad gets her own 3-book YA series "about a girl who moves to L.A. and stars in a reality show." Sound familiar?) (nj.com)
- 'Secret Life' smackdown (of The CW — evidently it's not just tweens tuning into this show. Molly Ringwald nostalgia buffs? Fans of baby mama drama?) (TV By The Numbers)
- Tweens on Nick.com longer (a follow up to yesterday's link about how Disney's millions of streams on Disney.com) (BusinessWeek)
- S.A.T. prep (got game) (USA Today)
- Pre-paid debit cards (all the rage on campus) (WSJ)
- mtvU + HP (launch Engine Room – "an original series that will follow the 16 contestants, divided into four teams, as they produce digital art using — of course — PCs, work stations, monitors and other products sold by HP." Full press release here. Plus MTV fights "green washing" with a new campaign targeting faux green companies) (New York Times, reg. required) (Guardian UK)
- GOOD borrows from Radiohead (and asks subscribers to the magazine to name their own price/donation) (Folio)
- Causecast launches (yet another Gen Y oriented activism site to know. And this new multi-player game makes learning fun – thanks Andrea!) (Tech Crunch)
- Wendy's goes viral (with mixed results. J.C. Penny gets into the act with HSM 3. P&G wants laundry slackers to "Swash it." And more on the Sparks ads that sparked the lawsuit against MillerCoors.) (AdAge.com, reg. required) (Media Post, reg. required) (USA Today) (CSPI)
