It is basically unusable. THere is no way to search the projects. Once projects are voted up they show up in the Explore areas. This means kids have to get their friends and family to vote their projects up before anybody in the online community can even get a chance to see them.

My son was so depressed by the experience of uploading his on pictures, he left his project sitting on the floor and walked out of the house to try and find someone to play with. We went from a dad/son day of making things to me writing this , and him outside wandering around to find someone to go throw rocks with. I have nothing against throwing rocks, but I wanted it interspersed with making.
