YouTube for Kids

August 23rd, 2009 Mike Leave a comment Go to comments

Last week I wrote about the first web browser designed specifically for kids, KidZui.  The Makers of KidZui have recently embarked on a new venture, taking their concept of a kid-friendly Internet to a new level by creating ZuiTube, which is essentially YouTube for kids.  Rather than a competitive service to YouTube, ZuiTube works by filtering YouTube content, and aggregating the best kid-appropriate material from YouTube directly to ZuiTube, so that young children can enjoy the benefits of YouTube without the dangers.  Says Cliff Boro, CEO of KidZui:

There’s so much great content on YouTube for kids, but there’s so much horrendous content that’s completely inappropriate. So our goal with ZuiTube is to give kids the best of what YouTube has to offer without parents running and screaming because there’s just so much bad stuff as well.

ZuiTube is positioned to be both an educational and entertainment vehicle, providing elementary-aged school children with thousands of videos and “channels” to view.  With tools like KidZui and YouTube, children can enjoy and explore the vast knowledge base of the Internet with the minds of their parents put at ease.
