What Parents Need to Know
This review of JitterFingers was written by Erin Brereton
Parents need to know that this site bills itself as a "safe online social-networking environment for girls" -- and follows through on the promise. True, there are no age limits to join the Jitter Fingers communities (kids under 13 technically need their parents' permission to join, but all you need is an email address for the site to contact their parents). However, since the site's purpose is to create invitation-only groups with eight or less friends, there's little to no chance kids will come into contact with outsiders.

More on JitterFingers
What’s the Story?
In the beta version of JITTERFINGERS.COM, users can send text messages through the site to their friends' phones, post (moderated) thoughts about TV shows, music, and fashion, or chat in a private room with other members of their network who are online. A scrapbook section lets girls post photos, or they can alert friends to upcoming events. And of course, because this site is for tweens and up, there are girly touches everywhere, like the Cute Band Alert posting area. The site also offers some light historical value in sections like Year in Entertainment, which showcases hip happenings that took place the year a member was born.
Is It Any Good?
Jitter Fingers was created to let girls design their own online hangout, and once they invite a maximum of eight friends to their private network, they may never look at the mall with quite the same joy again. However, Jitter Fingers isn't all fun and community-chatting games. The site also features some retail-based material, such as Emma's Coupon Closet, designed to be a clearinghouse for online sales and promotions. Likewise, the Gadget of the Week section gives a nod to items "you'd never find at a local mall."
