If you want to see what the antidote to all of these kids social network sites is - go to www.woogiworld.com. It is a kids educational social network that is focused on teaching kids proper internet use, balanced living, community service and 21st century education skills. The site is promoted through school districts wanting to offer their kids a good place to be on the Internet.
There's alot more coming in 2008 but its one to put on your radar screen.

I will check out WoogiWorld. I am eager to share good news whenever I can. I truly would love to find more opportunities for kids online that are safe and less commercial than what is typically out there right now.

I just stumbled upon this post, and just wanted to let you know that there are sites out there that care more about creating a safe community for kids then ad dollars. If you visit www.ZooKazoo.com you will notice that it is an ad-free environment where, children can explore without repeated exposure to advertisements. Feeling free to check it out.
