Great site for kids 14 and under:

<P>Younger and younger children want their share of the social networking craze, 
but popular Web sites such as <A

target="">MySpace</A> and <A 
href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/related/topic/Facebook+Inc.?tid=informline" 
target="">Facebook</A> are reserved for older crowds. So sites are now aiming at 
children 14 and under, with online worlds where their animated personas can play 
games, chat with others their age and even engage in adultlike activities such 
as e-commerce.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/08/02/AR2007080202351.html?wpisrc=newsletter&wpisrc=newsletter&wpisrc=newsletter">This week, <A 
href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/related/topic/The+Walt+Disney+Company?tid=informline" 
target="">Disney</A> announced the acquisition of Club Penguin, a virtual world 
for children that's been around less than two years but has grown to 12 million 
registered users, largely without marketing.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/08/02/AR2007080202351.html?wpisrc=newsletter&wpisrc=newsletter&wpisrc=newsletter">
<P>Some advocacy groups worry that Internet marketing could have a similar 
effect as television ads, which they say contribute to childhood-development 
problems, including obesity, youth violence, erosion of creativity and promotion 
of materialistic values.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/53FCE87E-DD94-4619-88CE-A759E2A44FC7/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
