As kids in the tween age range see older brothers, sisters and relatives getting on social networking sites, like Facebook and MySpace, they want to get into the craze. But, most parents won’t allow it – for good reason. Finally, there’s a safe, fun new alternative that makes everyone happy.

World renowned game and toymaker, Senario, has created the first-ever secure social networking world specifically for girls ages 8-12. My Secret Circle is a new plug-‘n-play product that allows girlfriends – not strangers – to hang out online, chat, share pictures and play games.

My Secret Circle uses online access keys (USB keys) featuring proprietary technology with embedded browsers and unique ID codes. Only friends can connect on My Secret Circle by exchanging private codes. Even better, girls never need to upload personal information online, further enhancing the security of the network. My Secret Circle is SO HOT, you have to place an order NOW on Target.com to get shipping in a few weeks! Price at Target.com: $24.99 plus shipping

They were too old for sites like Club Penguin or Webkinz, but not old enough for MySpace or Facebook. So, they put their heads together and came up with FaceChipz! FaceChipz are sold in packs of five for $4.99, making them a great stocking stuffer or gift for kids to give their friends for Christmas!

The tokens are meant to be physically exchanged between friends. The code on the back of the chip (pictured here) is entered both on the giver’s page and the receiver’s page. Once this is done, FaceChipz.com connects the two friends and they can communicate together, share photos and much more. Once the code is used by two friends the code becomes invalid so if it is lost or passed on it cannot be entered at FaceChipz.com. Also, kids are only allowed to connect online with friends whom they have exchanged chipz with. They cannot see or connect with any “fringe” friends like Facebook or MySpace might allow. It’s all about safety but with the fun features of an adult social networking site! Price: $4.99 at Toys “R” Us.
