Mononas (http://www.mononas.com)

MONONAS features five main characters, the Mononas -- who, according to the site, are "all-American girls with a Latin flavor." The characters emphasize having a positive outlook and self-confidence. However, although the general theme gets a thumbs-up, the site doesn't really offer all that much to do. You can listen to or download a few original songs with a self-empowerment theme; you can also upload your own song (although it doesn't appear any users have yet). The site also features a matching game and simple dress-up game and functionality that lets you create a Mononas-like avatar for your profile. The interactive blog section, which has just over a dozen posts and only a few comments, doesn't offer much more content. However, there is hope for Mononas: The characters' profiles say they'll be starting to write regular diary entries soon -- which would at least offer users more to read.

Online interaction: Users can view each other's profiles, which don't contain any contact information, but aside from commenting on posts other users have made in the Let's Talk section, interaction is minimal.
