Gen Y loves technology.  But, sometimes the very things that we love betray us.  That happened to me today on our Gen Y Forum Call. 

A dead phone battery and problems with the bridgeline combined to leave many of you hanging on, listening to music rather than hearing our terrific speaker, David Cohen.  For that I truly apologize.  To David, who made a fantastic effort to be with us, I apologize and promise to reschedule soon.

Please know that we at The Gen Y Project appreciate you taking time out of your schedule to join us and want to offer you quality information and convenient processes to learn.  We’ll get back on track with our technology next week as we hear from DK, CEO of MediaSnackers.com.

Thanks for your patience and understanding.

YouTube, the top video site on the web, has moderators check out the site for piracy and depictions of nudity and violence. And now that Myspace.com has received a lot of negative press, they have hired a chief privacy officer. But hey, that hasn’t stopped some entrepreneurs from creating sites where ‘anything goes.’ So, don’t think your kids are being shut out from experimenting with what us old guys might think as porn. One example of this is the site Stickam.com. I have seen some of my teenage friends accessing these sites because it allows them to express themselves.
