SaferToys.org – DiggClone For News About Kids Toys

SaferToys.orgSaferToys is a Digg-like site whose focus is on kids’ toys. Like Digg, users submit stories and news articles that they feel are interesting, and have to do with playthings.

Other users then vote for the story, letting it sink to the bottom into obscurity, or floating it to the top of the top. Items can be sorted by date e.g. month, week, and year. Additionally, users can search for items via the tag cloud, which at the moment could use some entries. Top-participants are ranked and given Karma points, (again another Digg copied feature) and their votes are tallied. If you’re a parent, SaferToys could be quite useful; you would want to know about recalled Chinese crafted toys and consumer protection, wouldn’t you?
