Younger kids now have their own online club for blogging, sharing photos and socializing--without the privacy hazards parents worry about in connection to hip communities like MySpace, where children under 14 aren't welcome but often sneak in anyway.
On Thursday, Industrious Kids, a privately held company in Emeryville, Calif.,
introduced Imbee.com, one of the first social networks for kids aged 8 to 14, and one that promotes security and parental controls. The network requires parents to authorize a child's membership with a valid credit card, by first authenticating their own identity. Information posted to the site by children is viewable only to invited friends and family, and not available for indexing by search engines like Google.
