Ypulse Essentials: Spinning Indie, Translation, 'Juno' Game

MySpace Generation Fed Up? (Time on social networking sites is dropping and the ad clickthroughs are not good…) (BusinessWeek)

- The college filesharing legislation I mentioned yesterday (passed the House. For a very in-depth look at campus/illegal downloading issues, check out this article. And if you're a college radio fan, check out former Ypulse contributing editor Jennifer Waits' new blog Spinning Indie) (ArsTechnica) (Campus Technology)

- Speaking of radio (The New York Observer profiles Alison Stewart, host of NPR's youth oriented Bryant Park Project)

- The state of hip hop (Pop Matters finds some good in the current sales slump, i.e. the kids want smarter, better hip hop. Plus Jay-Z joins Steve Stout to form a multi-cultural ad agency called Translation) (New York Times, reg. required)

- SPIN launches on MySpace (and attempts to make the internet look like a print magazine)

- Norman no more (Christina Norman leaves MTV and MTV shifts its focus to games) (L.A.Times, reg. required) (BusinessWeek)

- The CW parts ways… (with wrestling) (Variety)

- 'Juno' (the game? um, ok. "American Idol" the Disney attraction? Sigh. Girls Gone Wild the magazine? Barf. Paris Hilton doll? Bigger barf.) (Joystiq) (Reuters) (AdAge.com, reg. required) (Digital Spy)

- The Vera Project (all ages music/art space. Being a former teen punk myself, it warms my heart to see all ages shows still happening) (via WireTap)
