kids and social networking?

Facebook has become the norm for teenagers and adults when it comes to connecting with friends. In many ways, regular emails have been phased out by the ease of sending a facebook message. We can send friend requests, post status updates, and create groups, all with a few clicks of the mouse. Kids often see their parents using facebook, and wonder why they can't have their own account as well.

A site called Togetherville.com is aiming to create a safe, kid-friendly social networking site. In order to use it, a parent with a Facebook account needs to set it up and monitor their child's usage. There are a lot of pros and cons to kids' social networking sites. Check out this review from Common Sense Media for more details on what Togetherville is all about. Let us know what your thoughts are!
