What parents need to know

Parents need to know that this fan club/social site costs $29.95 a year to join -- there's no free content at all. Kids pick a username and password and provide their first name, gender, and birth date. Parents get their own password and access to the parental control panel, which lets them enable or disable interactive features, including chat, requesting buddies, posting comments, and making a kid's profile public. The site says that the chat uses monitoring and reporting software, "but we do NOT control what is being said" (IM and texting are coming soon). Comments on photos, videos, etc. are reviewed before they are posted. Kids can upload photos of themselves. The site does push -- no surprise -- Miley products like fashion accessories and video games.

Educational value: Not applicable.
Positive messages: Miley is a better role model than many young celebrities. Fans on the site are friendly and positive.
Violence: Not applicable.
Sex: Not applicable.
Language: Chat is moderated, and participants keep it clean and friendly. Comments are reviewed before they are posted.
Consumerism: It costs $29.95 to join MileyWorld. Members can buy pre-sale tickets for Miley's concerts. The contests promote other products, like fashion accessories and video games.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking: Not applicable.

What to talk about

Talk to your kids
Families can talk about online safety and what's appropriate to share online. What information should you include in your profile? What should you leave out? How do you know if you can trust someone enough to make them a "friend"? What would you do if someone was bothering you? Families can also talk about why posting a kid's photo online might not be a good idea.

Is it any good?

Is it any good?
 
The busy pink and purple site can be a bit buggy -- features can be slow to load, there are some browser compatibility issues, and Miley's diary wasn't working at all. Still, kids will enjoy behind-the-scenes footage of Miley, whether she's shopping, rehearsing, or autographing a fan's forehead. Parents will appreciate the chance to control how interactive their kids get -- but maybe not the site's price tag.

I think it's WAY too much money.
I've tried to get on MileyWorld*, and it was ALOT of money. $26.00 to join. I don't know if it's educational or not, because I'm not a member. I LOVE Miley Cyrus, and if you don't, you might not wanna play this game, because it's ALL about money. You get to join contests, add friends, upload videos and pictures, and I think make an avatar. And when you join, you get a " Welcome pack" or something. All I have against it is the pricing cost of joining. :\

Semi good...just read for the truth
Its semi good. it costs alot of money but thats only because to make the site better. if it was free haters and spammers would raid the website and make is unsiutabe for kids and it would me the site would be very crappy and not have all the cool features. its the official fanclub for miley cyrus. It has Very kid friendly fun pages and lots of contest and a safe clean chat where fans can chat and do plays online. Theres an official exclusive gallery and personal video blog from miley and her friends and family. Once you pay the money and join you wil recive an exclusive dvd that can only be accessed for members,a not from the real miley cyrus and other junk that fans think is so "cool!" . So overall its a fun,clean website for fans but sometimes theres spammers and inappropriate languge. And the price to join can be lowered just a little but overall if u can afford it make an account u won't regret!

mileyworld*
Mileyworld* is very good to me, in fact i know because im a member of mileyworld! I find the chat is safe. Sometimes some of the messages sre not nice but the staff will take care of the member that wrote the message. You won't be lonley on the site because you can add buddies and email them! When you get your profile page you can write a little bit about your self and post some pictures for othermembers to see.
