common sense media says
Tween-esteem site says: Find your inner goddess.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this site sticks the tween label on girls as young as 6, yet some of the site's content -- like the advice column's discussion about obsessive crushes, as well as some of the games -- clearly isn't crafted for first graders. The site does encourage girls to earn up to 500 "goddess gold" pieces a day so they can buy things for their goddess. Girls can safely chat with other goddess friends who are on their invite-only list.
Educational value:
Tweens can play word games, take quizzes ("Are you getting enough nature time?"), and keep a private online journal.
Violence:
Not applicable.
Sex:
Some advice discusses obsessive crushes on boys. Some goddesses dress in thigh-high microminis and cutoff shirts.
Language:
Not applicable.
Consumerism:
Girls are encouraged to do things on the site to earn "goddess gold" pieces to buy stuff. There are currently no ads on the site, but fine print suggests it may be a tool to brand and market GoGoddess characters for future sales.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Not applicable.

Best for kids and tweens. A little boring for teens.
I used to play it a while ago and it was pretty fun. Gets a bit boring after a while and probably isn't that great for teens, but for ages 9-12 its a pretty fun website. Liked how you could create you own character (and that there was more then one size the character could be :) ). Like the quiz to find out which goddess your most like. Fun overall.
