Lineup of questions for the teen panel
I think 95% of the people in the audience are clueless about what teenagers want. A year ago, I found out that Gaia Online is one of the most popular messageboard on the net (I think it's bigger than Slashdot). The users are almost entirely 13-15 year olds.
It's a different world. They buy ringtones, the're pretty savvy about comparison shopping and loyal to product brands but not vendors.
They all use AIM and Myspace, and many have iPods.
One of the questions from the lineup: "would you like to see movies in your AIM window?" Led to one of the teens stating flat out "I just want to talk to my friends," and then they all got into the rant about pop-ups and other annoyances.
Keep it simple.
