Last Wednesday has seen the launch of a new social network site ( I know, some of you may be saying: "Another social network again?")
But the new kid on the block is a little different in the sense that it is totally dedicated to kids.
The site, Togertheville at Togertheville.com, is designed to teach children 6 through 10 how to interact Online using their real identities and with a close parental participation.
The way that is possible is through the site link with Facebook, allowing parents on the grown-up site, to tag along with effective control over who their children can talk to or be friend with, according to the Wall Street Journal. Also, the site has a lot of restrictions regarding what kids can do or can not. For instance, kids can not type free-form text, only choose between pre-approved sayings. Another safety feature is the inability of kids to send "friends" requests to others kids. To request one, kids will have to go through their potential friends' parents who will review the solicitation before giving an answer.
