How to Make YouTube Kid-Safe

June 19th, 2008 by Jon

Sure, YouTube is filled with great stuff for kids to view.  It’s also packed with videos that, well, aren’t too great for them to view.  How to keep a young surfer on a safe path?  Try TotLOL, a monitored front-end to YouTube that offers only G-rated videos for the young ‘uns.  It’s free!

    Doesn’t the front page of Youtube always only display G-rated videos? That first page should be OK. Only when you start searching, the nasty stuff shows up. Relevant for me. If my child just checks youtube that is OK. When he starts searching on the site, I’d be more alarmed (as monitored by parental control reports). Thoughts?
    Thanks
