Wow!!

It has been too long since I last wrote. I promise to do a better job of keeping up with my journal entries. There’s so much going on – first and foremost, our new revamped website, todaysteenonline.com, debuting on April 1st!! Don't forget to look - it's awesome! Users will be able to have their own blogs on the site, and if you’re an aspiring talented teen interested in sharing your talents with the world, you can upload videos through our new video community, teentubeonline. The whole idea is to let teen bands, solo artists, groups, comedians, magicians, poets, ballerinas, violinists – whomever – upload their stuff on teentubeonline. Picture You Tube for teens!

Also on board supplying music clips of its favorite artists are Fearless Records, (the rockin’ label for such artists as The Maine, New Found Glory, All Time Low and Say Anything), and Rock Star Stories/Swept Away TV Productions, whose interviews, with such artists as John Mayer, Maroon 5, Fall out Boy, Panic at the Disco, Cute is What We Aim For and The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, already air in 67 markets and 4500 colleges on the OSTN Network.

For teens into sports, the site has ‘recruited’ MySportVideos.com, the first free mobile online community dedicated to youth sports. The site allows young athletes to track and share their sport videos and stats with friends, family, team members, coaches, and even recruiters, while bringing together professional athletes, young whiz kids and experts in the fields of sports training, nutrition and sports psychology.

As I mentioned when I started my entry, there is so much going on, and this is all just the beginning. Stay tuned for more info and exciting developments! Hope to see you on todaysteenonline.com soon. AND, if you want to upload your blogs or teen videos, here's the info you need ahead of time:

Go to http://www.cyber-samurai.de/upload.php. Just include a description of the video in a .zip file or submit an extra file with the description of the video (the name of the video file should be included there). Bloggers can do the same by sending an email to b_b@cyber-samurai.de containing their name, their email address (to be notified when the blog is ready, and the blog address they want, for example, http://jenny.todaysteenonline.com).

Be back soon,
Gwen
