Giant Hello is a social networking site for tween users- it was created to mimic the functionality of both facebook and Myspace. Users can create profiles, become fans of their favorite pop icons, books, and films, and play games. If users are under 13, their profiles are private until their parents authorize the child. In order to invite friends, tweens must either enter their email addresses or can print out an invite that contains a code and hand deliver it to their friends. Messages between users are filtered to allow only pre-approved words and phrases, so the site is considered safe. If you would like to keep your children off of facebook and Myspace, then Giant Hello is a site to consider. Although the site is free, there are advertisements that your tweens will be subjected to. The site is most popular with younger tweens between the ages of 8-10.
