Ypulse Essentials: The N Gets 'Real,' AllGirlArcade, The Young & The Gadgeted

The N gets 'real' (with two new reality shows. The first, "Queen Bees," hosted by "America's Next Top Model" winner Yoanna House, attempts to "makeover" mean girls by dangling $25K out to the newly reformed winner. The second, "Student Body," focuses on the outside, or getting in shape with Laila Ali) (MultiChannel News) (RealityWorld)

- It's that time of year again (for the "Teen Choice Awards" – Idolator has the music noms. Plus follow this year's Warped Tour on BuzzNet)

- FNMTV (Friday Night MTV plays videos and lets users upload responses. Rex over at Fimoculous calls this Web 2.Ugh. Plus Sears hopes to up its hip factor by teaming with MTV)

- Meez launches a virtual world (It's funny they always had an active message board community even though their avatars were portable. I'm surprised they didn't do this sooner. Plus AllGirlArcade – a new casual gaming site and virtual world for tween girls. And Nick launches a gaming and a virtual worlds division) (AllGirlArcade via Izzy Neis) (Variety)

- Net Basics (the Kiwis down in New Zealand have the right idea about internet safety. Make it really fun and a little twisted, too) (Net Basics via Adverblog)

- The young and the gadgeted (how young is too young for tween tech?) (New York Times, reg. required)

- Prom hits the UK (as do prom prices. And check out ctrl + alt + shift a new UK youth activism site. Plus a perspective on global youth culture)

- Domonation (for all you fans of Domo toys, you can now watch Domo videos on Veoh)

- Where the twentysomethings are… (watching TV…online. Salon.com, daypass required, points to some sexy new internet fare aimed at this demo)
