Also, in the houses, you can now buy your own furniture and decorate it yourself, and there is a new guess how many beans are in the jellybean jar thing. The houses are in 3-D and you can interact with the furniture, dress up your beanie, and there is no "Beanieland leader" anymore. It's way better now and with their Contact Us,you can say complaints and they MIGHT make the site better. I haven't ever made a complaint yet. Your new beanie doesn't come with it's own already-decorated room, but now it comes with specific items and a new-cool hoverboard when you adopt three beanies. It's really fun, the old site is OVER, and if you have an account and gave up on it awhile ago, you should come back now because they redid it and it is way better than before!

What Parents Need to Know
About Beanie Babies 2.0
Parents need to know that kids have to buy a real-life Beanie Baby to get a code to play online. The colorful site has little substance -- especially since there's little to do for younger kids who aren't reading well and won't be interested in the chat. And, there's constant pressure from Beanieland's mayor to "make friends." On the plus side: Freestyle and prescripted chat options have lots of safety features (no bad words, numbers, commonplace names, etc.).

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about chat etiquette, Internet safety, and virtual worlds. What's the best way to approach a new person online? Why would someone be mean to someone he or she never met? What can you say or do if another member (or real-life person) is mean to you? What social behaviors is a virtual world teaching? Do you think networking sites help build good relationships? Why or why not? How would you make friends offline? Families can talk about the pros and cons of computer play. How can you balance computer play with playing in the "real" world?

Great Site!
I really like this site! So many fun games! They've recently done many updates, and now there is no Mayor and nobody asks about friends. It is a great place with fun games and cool items and the pets look awesome in 3-D. I don't usnderstand why people don't like it! I do and so do my friends. I think you shouldn't listen to the reveiws that say it is bad and try it out for yourself. No Mayor that asks about friends, almost nobody uses inappropriate content with the available words, and it is safe 100%! Why do all those people seem like they want to destroy the site? It is a match even for webkinz.com. It is awesome!!!!!!!

Not Good
I've only been on this site once, and it is sooo boring! The houses aren't good, all you can do to customize them is buy another pet or should I say "beanie", which just adds another place in this "beanstalk home" to move left and right in, and you can't interact with the furniture! The games are not all that good. The Mayor ticks us all off, and BEGS you to make friends, use chat, and buy MORE beanies! If you use this site, TURN THE MAYOR OFF! The places you can explore are REALLY SMALL! You can't do ANYTHING with the pets exept move around and feed them the "beans" you find. And when you win the "gold prize" on games, you win NOTHING! What a rip-off! Plus, you can't name your pets! I got a Littlest Pet Shop V.I.P. today, and I like it WAY more than my Beanie Baby 2.0. PLEASE get a Littlest Pet Shop V.I.P. instead of a Beanie Baby 2.0! I also got a normal Beanie Baby the same day I got my 2.0, and I even like my normal one better! I might ask my mom for a cardboard box and stuff to make beanie-sized furniture to make a house for my normal beanies to play in, and I'd have WAY more fun with it than my 2.0! Maybe that's what people that want a 2.0 should do. Maybe it's what I should've done in the first place...I also have more fun with Littlest Pet Shop and Calico Critters toys.
