Protect Your Kids -- Simple & FREE.

Wednesday, October 29, 2008

Click here to download


As discussed in the workshop today at the National Caregivers Conference, you have more control than you may think when it comes to the online experience of your child's or any other person you're caring for. Safetyclicks.com has a new Safety IQ Quiz. It's one of the most helpful resources have ever seen in terms of providing tips & context.

More than half of online teens report posting specific details, including their first name and the name of their city and school - details that could prove dangerous. That's a little tip for the quiz;)

If you think your kids are too young to need to worry about this, think again. Studies show the online presence of tweens -- 8 to 12 year olds -- doubles or triples between the ages of 8 & 10 and 11 to 12. Establish house rules now, so a safe precedence is set.

The "string" you need ...

Monday, January 14, 2008


Just what you need this time of year ... to string it together. Blue String lets you upload photos, videos and music for free. Here's the key: it finds all this material for you, cause -- face it -- they're probably everywhere on your computer & various sites and you've lost track. I have:(

If you want, people you pick can access your pics to keep up-to-date with the latest in your life. You've got holiday photos, give it a whirl. I'm going to string together the last several years & then back them up through the service on XDrive, so my worst fear isn't realized & they're redundantly stored. One site -- all these features.

USA TODAY did a terrific round-up with some useful links:
