Playhut's two new online playgrounds, one for girls 6+, one for boys
CNET's Stefanie Olsen blogs about toy company Playhut's two new online playgrounds, one for girls 6+, one for boys <http://www.webware.com/8300-1_109-2.html?authorId=137>. Like ClubPenguin, it appears, "the free sites enable members to play games, dress up virtual characters and chat with friends - once parents send a permission slip via e-mail to the site." Well, ClubPenguin has very limited, scripted, chat, where kids are given phrases to choose from. VirtualWorldsNews reports <http://www.virtualworldsnews.com/2007/10/playhut-launche.html> that the free sites are Wowbotz for boys and Mystikats Kutties for girls.


Yahoo has a new niche social site for college students that's supposed to be more professional than social but not quite as professional as LinkedIn.com, a PC World blog reports <http://blogs.pcworld.com/staffblog/archives/005867.html>. Apparently a profile on "Kickstart" is designed to be more like a resume than a place for friends' "pokes" and comments. The site's photo upload page reminds users, "You'll want to use a professional-looking photo, since your future boss may see this."
