Teen Media and Marketing Blog Ypulse to Expand

Category : Teen News

Tags: , , , , ,

SAN FRANCISCO (PRWEB) September 19, 2006

Anastasia Goodstein, publisher of the award-winning blog Ypulse.com, which has been providing daily news & commentary on generation Y for media and marketing professionals since May of 2004, has decided to form Youth Pulse, a company that will offer networking events, additional publishing, speaking and consulting.

Most recently Goodstein helped to launch the Viewer Created Content (or VC2) programming initiative online for Current TV, former Vice President Al Gore’s new television network targeting 18-34 year olds. Before that she spent over 10 years working in media developing editorial and community products for television and the Web at companies like Oxygen and AOL and with brands like Teen People, Entertainment Weekly and People. She will now join the growing ranks of successful bloggers who have decided to pursue businesses based on their blogs.

In the next year, Goodstein plans to expand Youth Pulse to include:

Ypulse Teen Media Mashups: Sponsored, networking events for teen media and marketing professionals that will feature a roundtable discussion and highlight a non-profit youth media group. The first mashup with the theme: The future of teen magazines will be held in New York on November 8 and is being sponsored by Mr. Youth (www.mryouth.com). Future events are being planned for Los Angeles and San Francisco. Other events may include a conference focusing on teens and technology in the fall of 2007.

Ypulse Premium: A subscription-based premium content and community offering for media and marketing professionals to be launched this winter.

Totally Wired Blog: A new blog aimed at parents of teens that will explore the themes in Goodstein’s book, Totally Wired: What Teens And Tweens Are Really Doing Online, due out from St. Martin’s Press on March 20, 2007. The blog will launch in early October.

Speaking and consulting: Goodstein plans to offer tailored speaking presentations/workshops and consulting to companies who are looking for expertise in how to reach a teen audience, how to leverage user-generated content to build authentic communities and developing both marketing campaigns and products that will resonate with Generation Y.

Expanded sponsorship opportunities: Ypulse reaches approximately 5K media and marketing professionals daily through the blog, newsletter and RSS subscriptions.

“Ypulse has given me the opportunity for me to pursue my passion around teen media, marketing, technology and popular culture and a way to realize my vision of building a community of professionals who are committed to creating authentic media and marketing for and often with teens. I’m really excited about expanding Youth Pulse beyond the blog,” Goodstein said.

Goodstein plans on expanding advertising opportunities on Ypulse.com and the new Totally Wired blog as well as through event sponsorships. For more information on advertising, visit: http://ypulse.com/advertise.php

Erosion Media Launches AllGayNews.com

Category : Teen News

Tags: , , ,

Seattle, WA (PRWEB) October 26, 2005

When it comes to gay and lesbian news, the Internet is a mess, says Sarah Warn, President and Founder of Erosion Media. There is a lot of GLBT news out there, but no easy way to find it.

All that changes with today’s launch of Erosion Media’s AllGayNews.com (http://www.allgaynews.com), a website that brings news providers and GLBT readers together. “When it comes to GLBT news,” says Warn, “there’s never been anything like this on the web.”

Erosion Media is the owner of leading entertainment sites for gay men and women AfterEllen.com (http://www.afterellen.com) and AfterElton.com (http://www.afterelton.com).

There are several publications currently providing gay and lesbian news online, but they are limited in the number of stories they can cover, and they are focused on those the editors consider most important. Meanwhile, gay and lesbian news is increasingly produced by a diversity of sources besides American gay and lesbian news publications, like blogs, small-town or niche newspapers and websites, and publications from other countries. These stories are much harder for gays and lesbians to find, because they aren’t published by the biggest sites on the Web and consequently are easily buried in the avalanche of news published on the Internet every day.

AllGayNews.com solves this problem by harnessing the collective knowledge of GLBT readers from across the globe. By submitting, categorizing, rating, and commenting on links to GLBT news items from across the Internet, AllGayNews.com readers decide collectively what news is important — giving readers access to more information in an easy-to-digest format, and creating a level playing field for publications.

AllGayNews.com also allows readers to filter the news in a variety of ways, including by publication, gender, type and topic. For example, says Warn “you can quickly see the last 50 news items submitted about gay men in sports, lesbians in politics, or GLBT teens. Or you can see a list of the recent articles on transgender issues published by a particular news source.” When readers click on a news item that looks interesting, they are sent directly to the relevant article on the news provider’s website, which increases traffic to that publication.

“On AllGayNews.com, the news is chosen by GLBT readers for GLBT readers,” Warn says, “and it benefits the news providers, as well as the readers. Everyone wins.”

ABOUT EROSION MEDIA, LLC

Erosion Media (http://www.erosionmedia.com) is dedicated to providing news and entertainment information for underserved populations. Their flagship site AfterEllen.com has been providing breaking entertainment news for lesbian and bisexual women since April 2002, and AfterElton.com has done the same for gay and bisexual men since January 2005.

Spleak Media Network Launches CelebSpleak, the World’s First Pulse of Teenage Pop Culture

Category : Teen Gossip

Tags: , , , , , , , , ,

San Francisco (PRWEB) November 12, 2007

Today, Spleak Media Network, the pulse of pop culture, introduced CelebSpleak (http://www.spleak.com), a new content distribution platform designed to satisfy teenagers’ insatiable appetite for hot celebrity gossip. Spleak has reinvented pop culture consumption for the new generation by using short form content (250 characters or less), which users are able to create, rate and share with millions of other teens. CelebSpleak is available everywhere online such as Instant Messaging (IM) applications like AIM (http://www.aim.com) and MSN/Windows Live Messenger (http://get.live.com/messenger/overview), and social networking sites such as Piczo (http://www.spleak.piczo.com/?cr=4&rfm=y&proid=49) and MySpace (http://www.myspace.com/spleaksworld). Celebrity gossip is just the beginning for Spleak Media Network – the company plans to launch more Spleaks focused on other areas of high interest to teens in the coming year.

In the Know, 24/7

Spleak users can add CelebSpleak to their AIM (http://www.aim.com) or MSN/Windows Live Messenger (http://get.live.com/messenger/overview) buddy list, just as one adds any other friend, or add CelebSpleak as a widget to their profile page, blog or Web site. They can then instantly voice their opinions on their favorite (or least favorite) celebrities and stay in the loop on the hottest gossip. Unlike traditional social networks, users do not post personal information or photos and Spleak does not enable or facilitate introductions between community members. Spleak is a moderated community where profanity screening and the quick and easy removal of potentially offensive content are key building blocks within the system’s architecture.

Shorter is Better

CelebSpleak is the next step in the evolution of teen content consumption. Long blog entries are being replaced by short CelebSpleak “Tattles” (gossip stories written in 250 characters or less) read instantly by the large and growing Spleak user base. When a user publishes a “Tattle,” teens all over the world can read it via IM or on their CelebSpleak Web widget.

“Teenagers today even see blogs as outdated and Internet video as too slow in terms of getting information. They want to consume online content quickly and be ‘in the know’ without navigating away from their IM buddy list or social networking site,” said Morrie Eisenberg, CEO of Spleak Media Network. “CelebSpleak provides the celebrity gossip our users care about, the way they want it, and gives them the power of citizen journalism in seconds.”

“Since featuring Spleak Media Network on our site, it’s received more than 90,000 hits. Our users can’t seem to get enough of its gossip content,” said Jeremy Verba, CEO of Piczo. “With the CelebSpleak widget, our community members are immediately in touch with the hottest celebrity news and can contribute their own voice on these topics through Spleak’s ‘Tattles’ – a feature that is really resonating with this crowd!”

CelebSpleak currently has more than 100,000 active users a day and 15,000 new users a day. To view CelebSpleak or to add Spleak to a MySpace page or IM, visit www.spleak.com.

About Spleak Media Network:

Spleak Media Network is the pulse of pop culture – fresh, relevant and quick to consume content delivered to where teens are online. Spleak makes it easy for teens to define their own pop culture, allowing them to instantly share their perspective with millions of their peers in 250 characters or less. Based in San Francisco, Spleak Media Network is venture-backed by Draper Fisher Jurvetson (DFJ) and Sunstone Capital and is privately-held.

A self-portrait from me and my blue eyes.. ^^
The Self-Portrait should show me as a model figure, as an young beautiful teenager, catching anyones eyes with those extremely blue eye-deepness :)

Jess Radke column: Girl Scouts advocate for healthy media legislation
I dont know about you, but when I flip past reality shows or skim a magazine, I often wonder how the orange-hued stars of Jersey Shore or wiry Cosmopolitan cover models represent reality. They look and act nothing like anyone Ive met, yet theyre the people our society fixates on, parrots or parodies, and studies as popular culture phenomena.

Parental Guidance Boosts Child’s Strengths, Shapes Development
Why does a child grow up to become a lawyer, a politician, a professional athlete, an environmentalist or a churchgoer? It’s determined by our inherited genes, say some researchers. Still others say the driving force is our upbringing and the nurturing we get from our parents. But a new child-development theory bridges those two models, says psychologist George W. Holden at Southern Methodist …

Using Facebook to Solve a College’s Tricky Media Challenge

Category : Teen Facebook

Tags: , , , , , ,




Albany, NY (Vocus) May 13, 2008

As the competition to attract incoming students grows fiercer, colleges and universities need to find ways to reach high school students earlier in the college decision process. One enticing method is to break into what is perhaps the hottest teenage community in existence: Facebook. But as leading marketing firm Media Logic discovered, there are certain “Facebook Rules” marketers must follow if they want to appeal to Facebook users and engage fresh prospects.

Fresh Look at Facebook, an in-depth case study profiling how Media Logic helped one college enter the ultimate teen hangout to solve a tricky media challenge, is now available for download at www.mlinc.com/facebook. The case study offers valuable insight for marketers who are considering using social networking sites as an underground and affordable marketing tool, and provides suggestions on how to ensure a successful marketing campaign.

“Because Facebook is an organically grown community, marketers must recognize the importance of authenticity in this space,” says Media Logic VP/Senior Creative Director Jim Sciancalepore. “If Facebook users detect any hint that you’re using the site for marketing purposes, you’ll lose them. Our solution was to give students a new way to connect with our client, and the results have been extremely positive.”

Click here to listen to a podcast featuring Jim Sciancalepore as he discusses how to incorporate Facebook into your higher education marketing efforts.
