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!

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!

Despite all its enormous benefits, the Internet does pose a security and privacy threat to all kids of all ages if they are not protected and are not able to surf in a safe environment. In addition to ensuring that kids use only kid-safe internet software, the only way to become fully informed of kids’ online activity and preferences, is for parents to make use of monitoring tools.

According to a survey conducted by the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children and Cox Communications, approximately only 50% of the parents surveyed were monitoring their children’s internet activity on a daily or weekly basis. The remaining 50% of the parents claimed not to have or were unsure if they have monitoring software on their computer(s).

With KIDO’Z, kids are not only protected in a kid-friendly, secure environment, but parents are also able to track their kids’ Internet usage with KIDO’Z STATISTICS.

KIDO’Z STATISTICS gives parents detailed usage reports of their child’s KIDO’Z usage.

These usage reports show:

• Daily Time Spent on KIDO’Z
• Favorite Tools
• Usage Pattern per day
• Most Popular Content

KIDO’Z STATISTICS is easily accessed by parents through the KIDO’Z Parental Control Account by clicking on the STATISTICS tab, and is available only to KIDO’Z PLUS users.

Here is a quick video tutorial showing How to Access KIDO’Z STATISTICS:

To have full access to this useful tool, you can easily become a KIDO’Z PLUS user by upgrading through your Parental Control Account.

Have a good week!

With the introduction of KIDO’Z MAIL that we’ve just added to our last version, new and exciting possibilities are now available to the kids.

The rich mail editor allows the kids to draw, paint, edit background and animation and write. It also allows them to express themselves and their creativity and more then that is allows them to share it and to communicate with friends and family even if they still can’t read or write.

The KIDO’Z MAIL gives preschoolers the power to share their art work with their parents or to communicate with their grandparents or to exchange cool Ecards with their friends. This generated a lot of excitement  and thousands of KIDO’Z Mails are being sent daily.

As the system is not based on language or text it is interesting to see how kids from all over the world are in many ways “speaking” the same visual language.
