CommonPlaces recently launched WhatsWhat.me (Beta), a unique, “kids-only,” “no bullying allowed” social network for kids 7-13.
This site was created to be safe, secure, and age-appropriate with highly sophisticated privacy and security measures in place, and in strict adherence to COPPA regulations. Because mainstream social networks are targeted at adults, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) requires that members of these social networks be at least 13 years of age. However, younger kids wish to engage in social networking as well. Therefore, WhatsWhat.me (Beta) was created.
The site’s mission is to “teach and protect” children as they learn and practice positive online behavior. Also, to help parents “get smart” about kids and social networks, WhatsWhat.me (Beta) has a Parent Resource Center with “Ask The Expert,” a tech glossary, news and information on keeping kids safe online.
Users of WhatsWhat.me (Beta) can enjoy a wide range of age-appropriate social networking activities such as interacting with friends online through messages, earning points, winning prizes, sharing photos, playing online games, posting comments and creating and joining groups.
