11 Year Old Creates His Own Kid-Friendly Social Media Site

[Rickson9]

"After Zach Marks' parents got angry that their son went behind their backs to play on Facebook, the 11-year-old decided to create his own, kid-friendly social media site. GromSocial.com was born. And dad, founder of an energy drink and food company based in South Florida, saw the potential in the site that provides safe social networking, so he officially registered it as a company in March."

I remember the days when Windows 95/98 was out and the internet was still reasonably new to family homes I was in school and made a website with Games, Videos (messing about on bikes and stuff), Ringtones, With A Fourm, it even had a lot of visitors but I got bored and left it to rot away. If only I knew the internet would be so big now! Even remember my maths teacher when I was about 14 saying wow you made this website its amazing even has flash but I was more interested in playstation and going out on my bike!
