the youth of today

ChangeThis.com have published 'The Youth Of Today', written by DK, Phatgnat's Founder & Director:

The manifesto was written from observations gleamed from working directly with young people and through conversations with other professionals and associates. It is interlaced with direct quotes from young people themselves regarding the issues discussed, giving a greater understanding into their opinions and views.

At times they are obvious, specific, surprising, controversial, universal, silly and mad, definitely contradictory which is reflective of young people — they are an organic mass of individuals who are striving to find their place in this world ... can’t you remember what it was like?

Funnily enough, I met DK last month at The London Marketing Soiree with Seth Godin, the latter being the original publisher of Change This, before he stepped down to go work on other projects. DK is also a regular contributor to PSFK, which is one of my favorite marketing blogs.

Congrats, DK!

[NOTE TO SELF:] Nice to see Change This up and running again, after a 5-6 month hiatus.

Hugh - thank you very much for the mention... am totally honoured to be featured.

The orginal motivation behind the manifesto is to share my experiences and observations whilst allowing young people an avenue to express themselves on issues relating to their lives.

Any feedback, from you or readers, is warmly received.

Thanks again and hope to see you soon.

Yeah, getting ChangeThis'd can do you nothing but good. One of my biggest clients found me via my "Hughtrain" manifesto on Change This.

Anyway, nice one. Hope everyone who reads my blog goes and downloads it. Rock on.
