Posted by randfishThis morning I woke up at 3:45am (just about the time I usually go to sleep), kissed my fiancée goodbye and jetted off for a day-long meeting in Phoenix, AZ with the folks at Village Voice Media (operators of 16 weekly newspapers and many media-focused sites and blogs). During our chat, the issue of pagination for article content reared its ugly head, and since this particular issue troubles so many CPM-revenue focused sites, I decided it needed to be addressed (despite the fact that I touched down in Seattle at 8pm, taxied over to Vanessa’s for B…

Someone, somewhere is supposed to be raking it in from social media—but we never have figured out who that person is (unless it’s Mark Zuckerberg). We see the CEOs with their millions, and everyone wants in on the wave of the future, either in an IPO or working for the company behind the social network, or establishing their own.
But is there really any money to be had? Last week, social networking darling Facebook, still a privately-held and VC-funded enterprise, allegedly l…

Yesterday PSFK was invited to attend the launch of adidas Originals Denim by Diesel, held at the newly re-designed adidas Originals store. The “creative tooling area” of mi-Originals (adidas’s answer to Nike ID) was wholly unimpressive, and the kitsch party elements like underage male models having a pillow fight was nice eye candy at best. But what really struck us was the fact that the Hermann Deininger, CMO of a…

presidential primaries. The first is about a Super Tuesday primary map that
presents a range of content, including video, on election results — as Google

Piers over at PSFK wrote a provocative post challenging people in the “trends” business. I’m not going to agree or disagree with his analysis here, but it did inspire me to want to continue to clarify what Ypulse is vs. what it isn’t. We are not a trends consultancy or company that does research on the youth market. My background is in journalism and web content, not marketing. I became an expert aggregator and writer of snappy copy over the course of several internet writing gigs. So how did I become a “youth expert”? Part of what I think/hope comes through is my passion for this audience. I was a screwed up teen and have been constantly drawn back to this audience and this time in my own life. I began my career in the non-profit youth space working directly with inner city teen girls and worked in several teen or youth related media jobs throughout my career. I wrote a book where I got to interview lots of teens (I’m trying to make sure my next book projects puts me in touch directly with lots of teens again). I scour the web every day looking for anything Gen Y related and read lots and lots of articles. Whatever insight I bring comes from my gut, not from some marketing insights methodology (does that even exist?). …

This week’s Economist tries to shed some light on the habits of the 210 million internet users in China, a jump of more than 50% from last year’s figure, and one that will quickly surpass the United States’ (according to investment bank Morgan Stanley). The article offers a none-too-shocking glimpse at China’s world wide web, describing how the nation’s (still quite censored) virtual landscape “fills gaps and provides what is unavailable elsewhere, particularly for young people” -i.e., multi-player gaming, online communities, and pirated music and videos. They offer some statistics in support:
