Description:

If you're designing or programming a website or application for teens or just want to be relevant to the next generation, this teen panel will give you a glimpse into how teens are using the Net and cell phones. Find out what teens want, and more importantly what they don't!

More about me (I would be moderating):

Anastasia is an award-winning blogger and often-quoted expert on American tweens, teens and early twentysomethings. She has worked in media for the past 15 years and has helped launch youth oriented web and television properties for brands like Oxygen, AOL and Current TV. She will never forget her roots having begun her career in the non-profit youth media space at Teen Voices. Anastasia was one of the first graduates of the Medill School of Journalism's new media program at Northwestern University, where she earned an MSJ in 1999. Her first book about teens and technology called Totally Wired: What Teens & Tweens Are Really Doing Online was published by St. Martin's Press. She lives in San Francisco with her husband and 4-year-old Boxer.

The panel will be made up of six Austin area teenagers ages 13-18, three boys and three girls from diverse backgrounds. Last year the room was full and the panel was a hit -- read coverage here: http://ypulse.com/archives/2008/03/sxsw_what_teens.php

Hope to see you in Austin!

Anastasia gets it ...love to see her branch into boy tweens also since Disney Channel is heading that way too and boys are the hardest to get ahold of She says Austin teen but love to have a younger tween 8-12 on panel too if possible

There is no one more engaged and informed than Anastasia about what is going on with teens. Having her name associated with a panel will definitely increase attendance to that session. She had a session last year where she actually had a panel of teens there to answer the adults' questions. This was one of the most engaged audiences in any SXSW session I had ever attended.

i'll be there.

Very interesting discussion, thank you

thanks
