Imbee, a new social networking service for kids, launched earlier this week. Like other services, Imbee provides blogging, photo sharing, and messaging. What makes Imbee unique is the amount of protection in place to help keep kids safe. For example, kids can't sign up without a parent's help. A parent or guardian must register for the child using a valid credit card for authentication. And the service provides tools for parents that allow them to easily monitor their child's blog posts, photos, shared music and files, and messages. Another interesting difference between Imbee and other services is that everything is private by default and isn't indexed by search engines. Only people who are invited may view a member's blog postings or photos. It all adds up to a safer, more controlled environment. Imbee offers limited free accounts and paid accounts with a 90 day free trial. [via TechCrunch]
