Teens responding to a poll conducted by The Loup, a new interactive phone network especially for teens, agreed that the history behind the Olympics and the fact that the games only take place every four years, make it more exciting to watch. The presence of the X Games in California this year had little impact on how teens in Los Angeles voted. Over 150,000 teens have been dialing-up to The Loup from Los Angeles, Seattle, Rochester and Phoenix. Teens utilize The Loup to chat with friends, find out the latest news on fashion, entertainment and music, win prizes and share opinions in private chat rooms on topics they feel are important.
Teens can also participate in polls periodically to voice their opinions on current issues.
The Loup network is designed to be an exciting, fun and free way for teens to communicate with each other. It is the first communications community designed exclusively to meet the needs of the nation's 31 million teens. It is currently available in Los Angeles, Seattle, Rochester, and Phoenix and will soon launch in Philadelphia, New York City, Chicago, San Francisco and several other major cities. VoiceWeb, a venture-funded, privately held corporation with headquarters in San Francisco, is The Loup's parent company.
