KideoPlayer makes YouTube family-safe!
Friday, February 13th, 2009
The internet isn’t necessarily the most kid-friendly place in the world. Sure, there’s plenty of content out there that’s suitable, but without some sort of curation, your youngins are certain to run into some less than wholesome moments along the way. Tom (aka meat99) – head POKEr, internet buff, and father of two – has made it his business to remedy the situation by introducing the KideoPlayer.
A mashup of POKE’s UpL8.tv player, the KideoPlayer is a carefully curated selection of videos, handpicked from the YouTube archives to be kid-safe and often educational. In Tom’s words,
I will spend my free time sourcing, identifying and curating the safest, most educational (and most FUN) YouTube videos I can find. This ongoing list of videos will be served up in a simple little interactive package that I can sit down and play with my boys.
So if you’re a parent who’s interested in helping your kids grow up digital in a safe way, definitely check out the KideoPlayer. You’d be amazed at how quickly they’ll learn to slap the spacebar for a new video, and now you can rest assured that the content they’ll see is kid-safe.
