- The famed Anastasia Goodstein of Ypulse will host a roundtable discussion on "What Youth Brands Can Learn From The Action Sports World" at the Ypulse Teen Media Mashup on December 5, 2006 in San Diego.

Holy shit...
Fake your space... Now it truly is the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire... I will bet this is a huge success 'cos there are enough "Lamo's" out there who will pay 99 cents a month to recieve fake messages from fake people... It's really sad when you think about it. On the other hand, I will have that twelth cognac... And what was the url for the web site that connects me to all the people who TRULY love me... Good job I'm in a real profession... Advertising... Arrgghh!
Cheers/George

there (sadly) is another site (www.mobilealibi.com) where you can schedule "Image" calls - complete with fake voices and Caller ID information - to make yourself look more popular. If that wasn't enough, they also offer "rescue" calls to help you escape bad and boring situations.
Is this a trend?
