If they can create a safe environment for children to play then great.
No child aged over 12 is going to use it though.

The licence fee should be scrapped anyway. It costs too much to police/administer and should just be paid for out of general taxation.
I have many misgivings about the BBC but would be very saddened for them to be privatised.

If ITV decided to set up a social networking site for brats I would be fine with it.
They are leveraging their assets which is a smart move.
As for ITV & Friends Reunited, classic case of not developing your assets and being overtaken by newer rivals - Facebook, MySpace, Bebo.
But ITV is in a mess at the moment, so not surprising.
