Wetpaint & Students Under 13
Why aren't students under 13 permitted to register at Wetpaint.com?
Protecting the privacy of our users and abiding by the regulations established by COPPA (The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act & Rule) is of critical importance to Wetpaint. The last thing that we want to do is prevent teachers of students under 13 from taking advantage of the benefits of using Wetpaint wikis in their classrooms, but we are committed to abiding by COPPA's requirements and protecting the privacy of children on the Internet.
What is COPPA?
The primary goal of COPPA is to place parents in control of what information is collected from their young children online. These regulations were designed by the FTC to protect children under age 13 while accounting for the dynamic nature of the Internet. Learn more about COPPA.

Dear WetPaint,
I commend you on your age requirement. COPPA aside, research on brain development correlates "screen time" to health impairments. Balancing the influence of the digital age on the physical age is an appropriate question for innovators in the field to entertain. |

We may well know of several mindmap wikis like mindmiester mindomo and others. They allow us to create a wiki mindmap. Interstigly enough, those mindmaps can also have links to articles, sites ..etc. for those who need to dig/explore an idea further.
Now what am I looking for. I would like to have a mindmap (still a wiki) to be tied to a web site (say a wetpaint wiki). Why is this important? Well, let's consider my case: I have a fresh idea... a very very fresh one. An idea that\s just starting out as a brainstorm... best way to host it is through a mindmap. With the mindmap being a wiki, I get to receive help from my collegues to add/modify to my brainstorming mindmap. Next, I would like to expand FROM THAT MINDMAP into a wiki site again for me and my colleague assistants to each elaborate and expand into each idea. I would like to invite others to view what we all built and provide their comments and suggestions. Those would eventually use the mindmap as a site map to guide themselves through the idea chart and click on an idea of interest to jump into the site for more details. Both the mindmap and the site are wiki's allowing collaboration on all levels of the project. I hope I made it clear. I tried numerous searches on google to find some thing like that but was not lucky ::( Only one example was available from "TheBrain" website (http://www.thebrain.com) who are using this slick tool as navigation tool for their website. But their mindmap is not a wiki and their software is also desktop- (not web-) based Wetpaint was also not so friendly to host a mindmap wiki (at least the one I tried to host from mindomo) If you've been into any of such tools, I appreciate sharing it. Other ideas are most welcome Thanks |

Hey Guys/Girls, Josh here for the Wetpaint Wiki World. I just wanted to let you know that COPPA probably has a way that you can contact them regarding your wishes.. Maybe they can work something out.. Just saying. I am not saying they will or won't but it is always a possibility.
Thanks, Josh |
