Families Online - a niche to be explored?

Cola will rot your brain (your teeth too), so watch it!

But your thoughts mirror mine. I wondered too, how many sites there are where kids and parents can actually participate together. I have kids (3 boys) and so I know there are lots of sites out there (like www.neopets.com) that pull in alot of traffic from kids and adults alike, but you really can't participate together - you have to take turns and so you end up fighting over computer time.

The person that figures out how to make the internet simultaneously interactive for kids and parents could have a very good thing going.
