Today is a very exciting day at Teens in Tech. From now on, Teens in Tech, along with Youth Bloggers Network and the Teens in Tech Conference, are becoming products of Teens in Tech Networks. Everyone who works at Teens in Tech, now works at Teens in Tech Networks, and besides the name change, and sites becoming products, that’s the big news.

We also have some big stuff coming in the pipeline with Teens in Tech 2.0 that we are excited to tell you all in the next few weeks. Thanks for all the current support, and lets keep rocking! Also, a big shout out to our amazing designer Colin Toomey, and developer Michael Castilla. Teens in Tech Networks awesome site wouldn’t be possible with out them.

The team here at Teens in Tech would like to honor all of our fathers, especially those fathers who have supported all of our efforts as teens to promote technology. It’s often times a very taxing effort, and we appreciate all the work they’ve done for us. Happy Father’s Day!

This post also starts the introduction of the Teenage Life Series, a series of blog posts that will occur every Sunday. They’ll cover what matters to teenagers – of course we’ll talk about the latest technology news, but also news affecting us around the world. This is our round-up of all things interesting for teens and by teens, be it Zach Galifanakis in The Hangover or Steve Jobs’ liver transplant. We’ll start that round-up with a hot topic next Sunday. We’ve got a few in mind but if you have any suggestions, feel free to leave them in the comments below.

This is just another example of how we want Teens in Tech to be more than just a site for teens interested in technology, but a community for all teens. We hope this is a step forward, and that it’s a successful endeavor.

One of the staples of teenage life is summer camp. Our Chief Technological Officer, Mike Cohen, who’s not a teen (but not far removed!) forwarded this along to the Teens in Tech staff and we’ve decided to share it with all teens who might be interested.

Update: Teens in Tech is no longer hiring at this moment. Thanks for cooperation! [January 16, 2009]

Teens in Tech is currently moving servers from DreamHost to MediaTemple. The move is taking longer then we expected, but we should be up and running once again by the end of the week.
