This is from the Wall Street Journal and may be of interest to those of you with kids under 10 or so.
"Right this second, parents around the country are arguing with their children about using the computer—in particular, whether they're old enough to start accessing social-networking sites like Facebook. Parents worry about how kids behave with each other online and if they're interacting with strangers. A new site being launched Wednesday aims to ease those worries by providing training wheels to young kids looking to social network.
Togetherville (Togetherville.com) is designed to function as a safe, kid-centric social network. The site guides kids ages 6 through 10 on how to communicate online with others, using canned responses and parental participation. Togetherville links into Facebook so parents who use the popular social-networking site can have a say in who their children are connecting with and can even interact with their kids online."
Wonder if the company is going public - Sounds like a good investment opportunity.
