Cool sites for "Tweens?"

October 18, 2006 9:12 AM

Looking for cool, well-designed sites for "tweens."

The only example I have come up with so far is abovetheinfluence.com, any one else know of any sites designed for 10 to 14 year olds, that are particularly neat?

Does it have to be a PSA/message site like your link? Or can it be a regular community site? KiddoNet and Zeeks are neat.

Regular, weekly updated clean humor. I still like it (and I'm sooo not a tween.) Check out particularly their toons:

and of course, the Strongbad Emails:

No, no real need to be a PSA site, but "consumer-facing" would be a plus. (in other words, sites for products.)

I won't weigh in on the design or greatness of the site, but my 10-year-old niece has been obsessed with Neopets for about a year and I don't see the love waning anytime soon.
