The KIDO’Z application today is getting  a significant upgrade with the new release of the Adobe Air 2 runtime.

The (Great !!!!) Adobe team, which we  have worked closely with in the past months, helped to solve some KIDO’Z specific issues and made a huge improvements in the overall performance. All of that enables us to deliver now even better online experience for millions of  kids around the globe.

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.

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!
