Busy Little Bees
3:27 A.M.

The Interview: Dr. Patrice Oppliger, author of Girls Gone Skank

The Digital Native Goes Offline
The first thing I do every morning, even before taking a shower, used to be checking my Facebook and Twitter. From the minute I wake up to the minute I turn off my light in the night I used to be on Facebook and Twitter. And it wasn’t only at home, but even at work, [...]
One Young World: For a better future
To those that say that Gen Y is filled with egotistical self-centered coddled pre-adults, I say, well, I don’t really say anything. I just give you my Death-Stare.
But that’s probably because I’m not as classy as those Gen Y-ers who will be attending the One Young World Summit in London this week. Under the guidance [...]
In the Auto World, Size Matters to Gen Y
**This article was composed by myself and fellow TNGG member Harvey Simmons.

When a reader reaches their limit they will have to pay a flat rate price. The Times is calling this method of charging its [...]

The Interview: Heather Huhman, Gen Y Expert & Founder of Come Recommended
Full disclosure: I work with Heather as the external relations director of GoodieRecruit.
Heather Huhman is your typical over-achieving, type A, never sleeps, always connected, fully loaded, energizer bunny. At twenty-seven years old she still falls into the category of Gen Y, but her resume reads more like someone twenty years her senior.
Huhman is already an accomplished [...]
