Lycos Zone (The Scout Report -- November 12, 1999)
-----------------------------------
In the tradition of Yahooligans (reviewed in the March 22, 1996
_Scout Report_) and other so-called "green spaces," Lycos has created
a new online safe haven for young users which is fairly
self-contained, with the exception of the advertisements. (In
response to criticisms regarding aggressive marketing to children at
similar sites, Lycos claims that the ads are clearly marked and will
not collect any personal information.) The site is composed of four
sections: the Fun and Games Zone, the Homework Zone, the New and Cool
Zone, and an area for parents and teachers. The first two sections
are fairly deep, with numerous resources and activities aimed at
various age levels. Some links in the Homework Zone lead users
outside the site, but they are first presented with a gateway page
informing them that they are leaving and offering advice on not
divulging personal information. [MD]
