So, What Exactly IS FAMPs?
New on the market, FAMPs encourages kids to “show your e-motions online.” In my opinion, it’s kind of a cross between Webkins and Facebook with all the innocence and parental controls you’d want for a 6-12 girl mixed in with age appropriate social networking. All that and there are cute little personality “charms” that kids can collect. (It must be something about the giant head that makes these figurines so adorable.)
