Kids can do amazing things with Social Networks

Last night my 14 year old asks me in if we can make a web site.  For what, I ask.  For his XBox 360 gaming clan.  Oh, hmm.  Well I am not going to make one from scratch for you, I tell him.

I give it a little thought.  And I suggest to him that he can make a site on Ning.  But he has to figure it out on his own.  He says ok.  I give him the address.

After he asks a few questions of me that I refuse to answer he has a site up in a matter of 10 minutes.  He continued tinkering with it last night and I checked it this morning.  I was somewhat blown away with what he came up with.




I know it's probably just themes and such but I am still pretty impressed with what he was able to come up with in a couple of hours last night.  I will be supervision him (if he knows it or not, although after his incident on MySpace I am sure he now knows that everything he does under our roof is monitored) as he runs this site on his own.  Should be a good learning experience for him.

Here's the site if you'd like to see it.
