Screenagers Research

The web site I have decided to make over is the Internet Movie Database, or as many know it IMDB. It is a very popular site that I check on a regular basis, but there is nothing special about the site. The visual aspects of the site do not appeal to screenagers, or anyone for that matter. There is a ton of great information on the site, and I would like to see it get a nice make-over.

The first thing that needs to be done is market research. In order to re-create IMDB to attract screenagers, I first need to understand what they like and what appeals to them. To get started I did a few quick Google searches to try and find some good links that have information on screenagers. Here are the links that I found:

Douglas Rushkoff
TechEncyclopedia
Muse Lyrics
World Wide Words
Royce Carlton
