This means that users should see an immediate improvement in performance, particularly on less powerful machines.

More Speed:

Adobe AIR 2 has an improved JavaScript engine which works up to twice as fast as the old one. This means that many of  your child’s  favorite sites will now work  faster and more efficiently with the KIDO’Z Browser.

How to Build a Safe Social Network for Your Kid

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

With all the hype and excitement around Social Networking, it’s never been easier to socialize with friends no matter where they (or you) are. All you need is an Internet connection, a social networking profile, and you’re good to go!

As young kids now form a growing Internet user market segment, it’s only natural that they too should be able to have virtual fun and communication with friends and family.

After they’ve had their playdates, parties and fun at school, kids are now able to also socialize on the web through KIDO’Z, and parents are able to build these social networks for their kids!

KIDO’Z MAIL and KIDO’Z PLACES are exciting new social networking tools that have been added to the KIDO’Z Web Operating System, to allow kids to safely and easily make, communicate, and interact with friends online. Kids can interact only with their parental-approved KIDO’Z FRIENDS, which ensures maximum online safety and peace-of mind for parents.

Making friends in KIDO’Z is simple, safe and so much fun!

You as the parent are fully in control of your kids’ KIDO’Z social life. New friends can only be added to your kid’s account by you through the secure Parental Control Account. You can send new friendship requests for your kid, and can also accept or reject any incoming friendship requests on behalf of your kid.

Friendship requests can be sent to friends and family including KIDO’Z users, non-KIDO’Z users, and even adult family members or friends.

Simply choose to Add New Friend, fill in the required details, and an email will be sent to the requested friend for approval.

Happy socializing!!
