    - Adoption seekers using social media sites (like Facebook and YouTube to find potential birth mothers. And less than one percent of young adults hold a “biblical” world view) (CNN) (Christian Post)

    - College freshman who drink (drink more than study. And female college students think drinking helps make them more attractive to guys) (USA Today) (Washington Times)

    - ‘Jumpstart’ education (another virtual world for tweens launches with an educational focus. Plus Super Secret game for tweens gets $10 million) (Virtual Worlds News) (Paid Content)

    - Move over MTV Music (Kiwibox and Universal Music to offer 5K full length music videos online. Plus AquaMedia adds a “young adult channel” to its offerings for advertisers)
