Ypulse Essentials: MySpace Music's Failure To Launch…Yet, Wired College Students, Zelaz
Posted by anastasia on 09-17-2008
MySpace Music (the billboards are up…just waiting for the service, which has been delayed again, to launch. MySpace TV has launched its site for the presidential debates.) (TechCrunch) (Alley Insider)
- With the death of TRL (MTV's flagship channel appears to have abandoned music videos) (Idolator)
- Social networking overtakes porn (as the most popular online activity for 18-24 year olds. And teen social network Kiwibox [speaking at the Boston Mashup!] has raised a cool $1 million) (Reuters) (Media Post, reg. required)
- College students are the testing ground (for new technology — eMarketer on the college "power user" market. Plus rate my internship? Tech Crunch on InternshipRatings.com)
- Heavy times for Heavy.com (the video destination popular with young men is having trouble) (Valleywag)
- Be great (new campaign from the Boys and Girls Clubs. I like it.)
- Baggy pants ban (ruled unconstitutional. Plus allegedly Disney's crackdown on loiterers is targeting minority teens) (AFP) (L.A. Times, reg. required)
- The skinny on '90210′ (Entertainment Weekly asks whether the actresses are too thin)
- Zelaz (new teen/tween ecommerce site that gives back "5% of its revenue to programs that support girls with fewer resources.")
