Parents need to know that this site for tweens and young teens provides an introduction to social networking and content sharing. To join, users have to ask their parents to submit a credit card to verify their identity and consent. Profiles and other user-generated content can be viewed only by registered members, and moderators review videos and photos before they're posted. And, only a member's "buddies" can comment on his or her profile and content. Unlike other social networking sites, parents won't find any sexed-up photos or come-ons, and there's no language stronger than "that sucks."

Families can talk about Internet safety. What are some of the dangers associated with using the Web? Have you or anyone you know ever been bullied or otherwise mistreated online? How? And make sure tweens understand your rules for using the Internet, especially regarding uploading videos and providing personal information.
