DGC's don't seem to be promoting the idea that they can make it a lot 
safer for teenagers to participate on the net. (although I have not been 
reading propaganda lately).

A service that allows the under 18 crowd to get paid and sends a Barns & 
Noble or Amazon gift certificate might be nice. In working with some 
companies -- they really don't want to pay 'kids' money -- but gift / 
book certificates are okay.

This study mainly speaks to young children (5-11 years old) -- not 
teenagers -- but the full version has plenty of gems.

> Our usability study of kids found that they are as easily stumped by
> confusing websites as adults. Unlike adults, however, kids tend to view
> ads as content, and click accordingly. They also like colorful designs,
