Saveanallien started out as a facebook application in 2007 but has since created its own website. Activity is based around the scenario that a meteor has hit a planet, scattering 10 million aliens into space; all floating aimlessly and helplessly….unless humankind can save them.

With such a humanitarian task at hand, DozenKids.com felt compelled to report on the situation at kids online club, saveanalien.com

Shop
The save an alien Shop
You can invite your friends to adopt aliens or ask other adopters to be your friend.  The main site did not provide any details of a safety policy, which is a shame as many parents would want to check this out before allowing kids to become users.

How big is this site? We evaluated the number of kids actively using this site..
The facebook application had over 250,000 users who adopted an alien but since the transition to the new site, work is ongoing to build up their traffic once again. There new site is still not fully developed, with several pages still under construction.

Why is this site different to other kids social networks or club sites? This grades the originality of the site..

The idea is novel but the idea of looking after a pet is not. We can’t help but feel there should be more activities available for adopted aliens. We did however, like the photo creator feature and enjoyed looking at those published online.

Whilst more activities are desirable, we guess anything must beat mindlessly floating around in space.

How good are the site graphics? This grades the quality of the CGI graphics and animation featured on the site..
The graphics are lovely; amazingly, all 10 million aliens have an individual look, name and personality. These helpless little guys pull at your heartstrings and once you have adopted one you can also see his brothers, sisters, children… You are currently not able to adopt more than one alien but we guess some will coerce friends and relatives into adopting an alien or two. The graphics are humorous and at times edgy, with some of the clothing risqué to say the least!
Fun Factor: 5/10

OK, how fun is this site? Are there games on offer? Does it engage children's imagination? Run stupid competitions? We gave extra points for fun and activities..

You are encouraged to adopt an alien as a virtual pet and once you have done this the social networking element of the site kicks in. Adopters can play social games with each other, interact with friends, take care of their alien by feeding, clothing and petting them and even take a photo with their little adopted buddies.

Aliens can have profiles created for them and stories about them can be uploaded within these. There is a way to earn points by helping others, for example by feeding hungry aliens.

Saveanalien.com has grown into a community of alien-friendly people who are able to communicate through the site.

Whilst the activities are nice enough and there are kids social networking activities, we fear this could all get a little repetitive and are worried that some adopted aliens run the risk of desertion by their adopters.

How does this site encourage children's creativity? This parameter looks at how the site appeals to children's imagination..
The cute aliens and the life-saving scenario will certainly feed kids imaginations. However, compared to other sites there are limited creative avenues offered.
