Mobile is like that

BBC announce that they will be launching a facebook style social site for children. The target market group is children between 6 years old to 12 years old.

Backlash from the public is that publicly-funded BBC should concentrate on making programmes and not making web sites.

BBC replied that the social networking site is to encourage children to talk about their shows and at the same time, improve the kid’s internet skills.

Whats next? Youtube for children? Google for ladies only?
