It allows people of any age to access it and is completely safe, I think. Isn’t MSN classed as a social networking site. It allows people of any age to access it and is completely safe, I think.

For 5 years, I heard first-hand accounts from parents and teachers who were trying to deal with at-risk behaviors online. There have been so many barriers to putting kids online And up to this point, we've only been giving kids online experiences that make them anonymous and shut them off from real people in their life in order to keep them safe. Social media works for kids only when it can help guide them to develop healthy, safe norms for online behavior. Young kids isolated in a faceless virtual world don't necessarily do this for each other. While identity play IS important to kids, so is learning to to interact within the online social context with real people they already know :) Those are skills that will stick with them as they grow and transition into the 13+ social networking world.

It's like facebook but made especially for tweenagers, and they can only be friends by exchanging chipz in person! Much safer i.m.o. What about Facechipz.com?
