Social site based on shared interests has iffy controls.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this social networking site's Terms of Service prohibit obscene content, harassment, and other bad behavior. However, because there wasn't much activity on the site, it's hard to tell whether users follow these rules. Also, it's not clear if the site is intended for teens or adults -- or both. Some of the RSS feeds (which can be deleted) are from sites that aren't kid-friendly, like PerezHilton.
Educational value:
Not applicable.
Violence:
Not applicable.
Sex:
The Terms of Use states that content "must not include any obscene or pedophile content."
Language:
There doesn't seem to be a language filter on messages.
Consumerism:
There are no ads, but users have to pay after a three-month trial period. The explanation of fees in the Terms of Use is confusing. The RSS feed links to outside sites.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Not applicable.
