Finally! The one person who gets us is, well, one of us. Drats. Anyway, while I posted the other day that some bigwig PhD says the under-30 generation is too soft to spearhead the great innovations of the future, a Gen Yer fires back.

Nadira Hira writes on the Fortune blog that rather than spit-balling young [...]

Let the Gen Y bashing continue. So-called experts, social observers and HR people have been saying us under 30ers have been too pampered, sheltered and complimented to make it in the real world.

Turns out that combination of coddling also makes us lousy candidates to be entrepreneurs, some big wig PhD tells Forbes. com.

The “Everyone Gets [...]

I’m using restraint in not calling us all crazy, because a new, big important study that came out today says a lot of young people have personality disorders and not many of us are doing anything about it. And you thought global warming and the collapsed economy were the biggest problems of our generation.

Apparently, 1 [...]

Totally by coincidence, I found two articles in the last couple of days about women in the workplace — and they couldn’t be more different. Cha-ching! Great blog material.

I was leafing through Marie Claire — don’t judge me, it actually does have interesting articles in between the glossy blurbs about flouncy clothes and accessories I [...]

Finally, someone else thinks there is such a thing as too much information—and I’m not talking about your best bud’s dating details.

Is it possible that we’re overindulging in an endless flow of sound bytes, YouTube clips, news articles and blog comments?

Time writer Michael Kinsley has asked the question I even wondered as I was starting [...]

Forget about working for Obama if you ever shot off a less-than-tender text message to an ex-flame.

Or get ready to do some serious explaining in a 7-page, 63-question application for a coveted spot in the Obama administration.

This ultimate interrogation barely stops short of asking applicants how much time they served in detention as a sixth [...]

Finally! After years of imposing draconian applications, advertising trackers and layout designs on Facebook users, the superpower of social networking will finally let us have our say, according to The Wall Street Journal tech blog.

Starting this week, Facebook users can vote on two new applications. One lets you pass a greeting card around to all [...]

As if our generation didn’t have enough monikers, we’re now also known as Generation O, according to this weekend’s New York Times.

Time and time again we’ve heard that President-elect Obama’s strongest campaign tactic was his ability to stay connected with his young supporters through social networking sites and text messaging. The informal, “I just-checked my [...]

When my mom was my age, she was already a blissful wife, the last girl  — the dreaded spinster at age 24 — in her circle of friends to get hitched.

Fast forward to 2008 when the median age for a first marriage is 26 for women and 28 for men, the oldest it’s ever been, [...]

Some 24 million under-30 voters raced to the polls on Election Day, the largest number of young adults to show since the votingage was lowered to 18 in 1972, my colleague Susan Elan reported today.

And unlike past elections when the young electorate was split between candidates, 20-something overwhelmingly supported Obama more than 2 [...]
