Pros: Amazing amount of activity. I signed up and received three penpal requests within a minute. The ability to see the most recently active penpal is a good feature.

Cons: The advertising on this site is a little bit too flashy and placed in such a way that you might inadvertently click on an ad link and end up someplace you didn’t expect.
