Family 2.0 Sites?

Taking the term of Web 2.0 further, CNET has an article about Family 2.0 sites:

Cook is one of a growing number of parent-entrepreneurs who are putting their time and money behind their familial interests and starting a new generation of Web sites for parents and older people--sites that borrow many of the social networking concepts, such as photo-sharing and the wiki, that are found on well-known destinations like MySpace.com and the aforementioned Wikipedia.

Call them "Family 2.0" sites--places for people who may feel a little strange hanging out with the teenybopper set on MySpace. While big family-friendly sites have been around for a long time, few of them have taken advantage of newer Web technologies, even things as widespread as RSS feeds and mapping links.

The owner of CMSReport.com and his wife has a site of their own that would likely qualify as a Family 2.0 site, LikethatIdea.com. The intention of Like that Idea is to point out good ideas and products for the family. The site is intended to be less IT oriented, but Bryan has the tendency to let his geek side prevail from time to time!
