Thank You For Supporting Totally Wired
It's with some sadness that I'm writing this final post. I launched the Totally Wired blog to support the book, which was published this past March. After over nine months of actively promoting the book, I have decided to put this blog to bed, and focus full time on building Ypulse as a sustainable and hopefully profitable business. I'll definitely continue to post links and information relevant to parents and educators, but it will be in more of a Ypulse context and tone than the posts I've written here. I will leave this blog up as a permanent resource and archival history.
I will continue to work with the media as an expert on all things teen and tech (reporters, feel free to email) and to speak on the topics discussed in the book and on this blog through my lecture agent (Ken Eisenstein @ The American Program Bureau).
A special thanks to the folks at P&G's Beinggirl.com for supporting the Totally Wired Parent/Educator tour, which is officially ending this week.
Thanks to everyone who bought the book, told a friend, posted a link and invited me to their library or school.

Shaping Youth (.org) is finalizing our expansion and blog overhaul too, so we will try to 'fill your shoes' and pick up where you left off, interviewing you on these vital topics as much as we can in both print and broadcast.
Congrats on funneling focus, which is a feat I'm slowly embracing myself so that I don't get 'founder flameout'...
I'll be promoting Totally Wired in 2008 in a big way, since I ended up buying more of the Packaging Girlhood cases of books for the 2007 year end blitz instead.
You should feel proud you've archived a fabulous site of resources and features here that will live on long after you've segued to YPulse fully. Cheers and congrats on your ongoing endeavors!
We'll no doubt be teaming and in touch on the media literacy front! Thanks for all you do to help parents see clearly through the lens of media moderation. It's a huge help to all. --Amy
