PikiFriends is the free keypal answer for secondary schools

I want to tell everyone about PikiFriends. I'm a teacher full-time, and it's my creation after years and years of hard work:
www.pikifriends.net

PikiFriends is a sophisticated online 'penpal' program made for junior and senior high school students and teachers only, without public interaction. The main goals of PikiFriends are to improve English communication skills (no matter what level English speaker you are) and to teach good ‘Netiquette’ practices.
Things that make it special:
-Free...
-Except for the excellent curriculum (the only thing 'for sale' on PikiFriends)
-Unbelievably safe for students (no contact info required or allowed to be entered anywhere)
-Very simple, intuitive interface
-Teachers have great control of their student accounts
-Students really enjoy using it (I should know, I have hundreds of mine using it) :P
