KidZui Kids Browser of the BEST KIND

KidZui is now FREE.



FOR KIDS

Built just for kids, the revolutionary new KidZui browser makes surfing the Internet fun and engaging for kids from ages 3-12.

KidZui has all the sites and games your kids love and tons more. With the KidZui browser, you have access to over 600,000 websites, pictures and videos.

Membership includes enhanced features like exclusive tags, backgrounds and Zui accessories!


FOR PARENTS

Trained parents and teachers have reviewed KidZui content so your kids can surf independently.

With regular e-mails and online reports, you stay up-to-date with what your kids think is cool.

Membership includes enhanced controls and reporting within the Parent Account.



KidZui is in the business of making an alternative browser for kids. What is amazing about this kids product is that it is geared towards the child. The browser interface is something that I am sure any 4 year old will like Their other huge selling point in my eyes is that instead of limiting the websites that they feel are negative or could be deemed inappropriate, the took the opposite approach. They have white listed sites that they feel are of good value for kids and parents. Their reviewers are “trained parents and teachers” so that makes me feel good about the filtering.

I am new to the service, but I think it has been around for some time. I found it because it is now free and I was told about it by Marcus Hamaker

Ghost



Ghost G.ho.st

is a "virtual computer," as the company calls it. Hosted at Amazon Web Services,
it's designed to be everything you need from a computer, except it's
not on your computer. You get a file system (with 5GB of storage for
free), a media player, and links to some apps. For example, if you want
to edit a word processing file, you can launch it into Thinkfree or Zoho.


The fact that Ghost doesn't come with a bunch of its own apps is the
key to this product, and what makes it more like an actual OS than many
other Web-based OS experiments I've seen. The design goal of Ghost is
that it acts as the clearinghouse for all your Web app accounts,
letting you shuffle data between them. For example, if you have a
document in Zoho Writer and want to edit it in Google Docs, Ghost will make the transition automatic. If you want to drag a file from your Flickr account into your Ghost file store, and later to an e-mail, Ghost will do that, too.

PS Please use my G.ho.st email==== tobs@G.ho.st when you are asked for who recommended you and I will get extra storage.

Thanks
