Why We Rated This on for Ages 10 and Up

The good stuff

  • Educational value:

    Kids can be creative writing blogs and creating videos.
 

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    There's no dissing on here. Kids can link to other sites in the profiles or blogs.
  • Violence:

    The games section links to Fashgames247.com, which has some shooting games.
  • Sex:

    All user-generated content can only be viewed by registered members, and moderators review videos and photos before they're posted. Only a member's accepted "buddies" can comment on member profiles and content.
  • Language:

    Nothing stronger than "that sucks."
  • Consumerism:

    Site does not currently accept ads, but there are sponsored ads before some of the games.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Yomod

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."

    This site is terrible.

    This website, Yomod.com, asks for credit card information, e-mail address, names, and very personal stuff. I didn't actually register when it asked for me to give credit card information. Stick to AOL chatrooms, kids.
