Ypulse Essentials: Wired On 'Gossip Girl,' 'Juno' Number One DVD, Blyk Reaches 100K Subs

Lauren ConradLauren Conrad joins College Tonight (as their official spokesperson)

- Wired weighs in (on The CW's "Gossip Girl" streaming decision)

- Nick's iCarly (number one in the UK. Plus "Juno" number one DVD - no surprise) (KidScreen) (Reuters)

- Gay teens kissing again (on "As The World Turns" luring teen viewers to CBS daytime) (Media Life Magazine)

- Spike Lee teams with Nokia (to "direct a short film comprising YouTube-style videos created by teenagers and adults using their mobile phones") (New York Times, reg. required)

- Blyk reaches 100k subscribers (in the UK - Blyk is one of the Ypulse 2008 Mashup keynotes!) (Cellular News)

- Experience Green (new green job/internship initiative for college students/grads...sponsored by Chevy [remember those ugc Chevy Tahoe ads?])

- Unilever rebrands Duran Duran's Rio for Gen Y (it's now sung by a Pussycat Doll to sell Caress) (MediaPost, reg. required)

- Scrapping abstinence only (I say scrap it and replace with comprehensive sex ed emphasizing abstaining) (WebMD)

P.S. I'm bummed that Carly got booted off "Idol." Do you think her husband's tattooed face influenced the voting? Also, I'm interviewed on YourBusinessChannel in a bunch of shows here. I realized I said Soulja Boy was from Memphis -- oops, he's actually from Mississippi.

On the sexual health piece, a girl who I went to college with part of the testimony earlier this week. She has a fantastic documentary out about her fight for comprehensive sex ed in her Lubbock, Texas high school.
Here's the doc link: http://www.pbs.org/pov/pov2005/shelbyknox/
