Former National Geographic Kids President Joins KIDO’Z

Sunday, October 4th, 2009

Have we got news for you!

The former National Geographic Kids Entertainment (NGKE) President and Founder, Donna Friedman Meir, has just joined the KIDO’Z Leading Team in the role of Chief of Content and Strategy.

Donna is a top kids’ entertainment executive, power mom and Harvard University Magna Cum Laude Graduate. She was even named one of the top 25 most powerful women in television by Electronic Media in 2002!


Donna’s professional background spans more than two decades in the Kids’ Entertainment industry, and prior to National Geographic Kids, she was the Executive Vice-President of Programming at Kids’ WB! and held several senior posts at Nickelodeon, where she made a huge impact in the organization.

She currently lives in New Jersey with her husband Gadi and her two kids, Alyla and Joss, who are founding (and passionate!) members of the KIDO’Z community.

Donna’s expertise in the Kids’ Entertainment industry will add tremendous value in shaping the content and overall creative strategy for KIDO’Z, to ensure that it becomes the leading content platform for kids on the web.

Donna joining the KIDO’Z Team comes at an opportune time, as we will be launching the latest KIDO’Z version (v2.0) later this month! This version will bring users even more exciting features, tools and content, and Donna will be instrumental in making sure that both kids and parents are delighted, excited, educated and entertained even more than ever before!



There has been a huge media buzz around this announcement all weekend long.

Have a great week!

New KIDO’Z on the Block

Tuesday, May 5th, 2009

Hi friends,

We’d like to introduce you to the new kid on the block: KIDO’Z (v1.0) - The Kid’s Web Environment. KIDO’Z is currently the talk of the town



Although some of you already know KIDO’Z ‘the Browser’ pretty well and have spent many happy times together, we think you’ll find that you will like KIDO’Z ‘the Kid’s Web Environment’ even more.

KIDO’Z has officially grown from a Kid’s Browser into a Kid’s Web Environment, jam-packed with more personality, better language skills and has become more protective than ever before! And as always, is such fun to have around.

KIDO’Z is now fluent in 17 languages in both User Interface and the Parental Control Account! Your kid will love that KIDO’Z now speaks his/her own language.

Remember, even if your KIDO’Z Environment is not yet available in your language, there is still lots of exciting content available in over 160 different languages.

KIDO’Z also wants to get to know your kid better, to become even more relevant to him/her - at the heart of KIDO’Z is our Smart Content Engine, which filters content for your kid according to age, language, culture, nationality, gender, religion, and content popularity, just to name a few.


But of course, no-one knows your kid better than you do. KIDO’Z encourages you to continue uploading fresh content for your kid (and if you want to, to share it with others) to ensure that the KIDO’Z Kid’s Web Environment is the best it can be for your kid and your community.

And, as always with KIDO’Z, you can breathe easy knowing that your kid is safer than ever in the KIDO’Z Environment, because guess what? Now you can even block KIDO’Z exit with the password-protection option.

More technological sophistication has not gone to KIDO’Zs’ head though - KIDO’Z is as simple and fun to use as before, retaining the same kid-friendly, graphical user interface.

Spend some time with the new KIDO’Z Kid’s Web Environment and you’ll experience first-hand exactly what we’re talking about.

Enjoy exploring the new environment!

The KIDO’Z Team
