What Parents Need to Know
This review of Nick was written by Dana Cotter
Parents need to know that this site is the TV channel Nickelodeon's home on the Web. It has a huge library of harmless, fun games that are occasionally educational, but mostly arcade-like. It's important to note that ads run amok on this site -- from banner ads to streaming video commercials to pop-ups with hard-to-see close buttons. The ads are distracting and make finding cleverly designed activities difficult to find and appreciate. Most distracting is a large mid-screen animated ad for features within the site. Once on this site, kids can have access to any Nick show, movie, sister site -- anything Nick, for that matter. But parents -- once on the site, kids also have access to other sites owned by Viacom, including MTV.com and Addicting Games.com which has sexual and violent content that is absolutely not for an 8 year old. Your kids may not look down in the footer, but if they do, there is nothing that restricts access to sites you simply don't want your kids visiting.

What’s the Story?
The site is divided into different sections, all packed with fun activities. ME:TV is a TV show and section on Nick.com that provides a space for kids to submit their homemade videos; some are chosen to post on the site and/or TV show. Kids can also submit their comic drawings or jokes to Nick.com. NICKtrition takes a stab at nutrition education; kids can watch clever videos of the food group "team" playing basketball and teaching the importance of each food group, and there are fun tips on cutting back on sugary foods. The Weather Center provides 5-day forecasts by zip code, highlights peculiar and extreme places, and can help with any weather-related report with its extensive glossary of weather terms. If kids register for a NickName, they can email other Nick.com users (they have to already know their friend's NickName as there's no search feature). The NickMail Maker is a fun tool; just add music, sound effects, backgrounds, and Nick character stickers. NickName holders can also make a Web page at NickPage Central. The best feature of Nick.com is its library of over 300 games. Few are educational, some are really fun, and most highlight characters from Nickelodeon TV shows.
Is It Any Good?
Buyer beware: NICK.COM advertises heavily on this site. With every new page, banner ads run at the top and side of the screen, streaming videos and commercials run to the right side of the screen, and internal Web site feature ads run in the middle of the screen. The latter is especially distracting as they are animated and cycle through different ads which kids have to scroll past to see all the buttons for each section. Commercials and ads not related to Nick.com are touting products that are unhealthy, such as sugar-filled cereals and snacks. If kids click on the Shop button in the main toolbar, they're taken to a different site to shop for Nick-related books, videos, toys, games, and clothing. However, hidden under advertisements and sketchy and overwhelming navigation are some valuable ways for kids to creatively participate in different activities.
But the most troubling part of the site is buried at the bottom in the footer. There kids can have unrestricted access to sites like MTV.com and Addicting Games.com which are fully of sexual and violent content that is absolutely not for kids.

It was OK- I got lost a ton!
I think that I am not the only one at my school in San Francisco that gets lost on Nick's Website. We all like doing the Spongebob games but we can never seem to get to it. Nick is fun but hard to get to.

I would not recomend Nick.com for kids under 10 because it's not very educational and you never know who could be on there.
