Neovision (Neopets' "broadband video player that showcases user-generated content along with the site's first stab at original fare–some of which will crossover to TV") (MediaWeek)
- While Neopets are busy getting their own video player… (but Tamagotchis are also getting their own movie) (Reuters)
- Speaking of movies… (ReelPop posted a nice summary of danah's Cannes talk about why teens aren't going to movies as much — hint: it's not because their glued to computers…but because they don't have time [overstructured], money [10 bucks a ticket], mobility [wheels] and are restricted by laws [curfews])
- EMI to let folks mashup its music videos (on YouTube. Cool!) (PCWorld)
- MyIcedCoffee (My friend calls Dunkin' Doughnuts iced coffees "milky treats." Looks like their trying to hook younger women on these "milky treats" with a new web strategy) (Boston Globe)
- LiveJournal reinstates accounts (follow up to yesterday's Essentials item. After fan fiction writers revolted, LJ is apologizing for the mass deletion, learning that you can't suddenly impose standards on an existing community in one fell swoop or mass deletion) (Wired)
- Redefining luxury (for Generation Y) (scenarioDNA trend report)
- This is your kid on meds (what happens when we give kids anti-depressants made for adults…bad things - thanks Scott!) (Scientific American)
- Target, Hearst & The Intelligence Group… (team up to send eight teen girls on a "volunteer vacation") (press release)

The LJ debacle is a mess. Weren't they watching what happened to Facebook and Digg?
