YouPIX
Open-knowledge reference entry
youPIX is a platform focused on discussing internet culture and how youth use the internet to create cultural, social movements and information. It was created by Bob Wollheim and Bia Granja in 2006.
The platform has a daily update site, social networks, studies on behavior of digital youth made in partnership with IBOPE, awards and the festival. One of the main achievements of youPIX is that it had more than 14 national and international editions.
History
The youPIX platform was born as a pocket size print magazine in 2006, and was originally called PIX Magazine. It featured a curation of internet events and of the universe of blogs, in addition to articles about the behavior of Brazilian young Internet users.
At the beginning of 2009, the site youPIX.com.br was launched. The site also includes Memepedia, the first encyclopedia of Brazilian memes. In May 2013, the site became part of Portal iG.
In March 2009, the youPIX Festival, considered the largest festival about Brazilian internet culture, occurred.
In addition to the magazine and the festival, the youPIX platform also has two distinctive awards aimed at stimulating the content production and expression of the youth in the network: the "Best of the Websphere" award and the "Content Talent Show" contest (the latter aimed at new talents in the area of blogs, vlogs and podcasts).

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “YouPIX”, the useful work is to connect “open-knowledge reference entry” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 22, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q10394720. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2006, 2009 and 2013.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
