November 04, 2005 (PRLEAP.COM) Lifestyle News
San Diego – It was announced today that Chatter, Inc through its Family First Alerts has agreed to offer its clients Children’s Educational Network proprietary Kid Safe browsers designed to protect children on the Internet.

The browser and technology was created and is maintained by Children’s Educational Network. “It is our goal that every parent has the tools to protect their children from the perils of the Internet regardless of cost.” Said Greg Writer, CEO of Children’s Educational Network. “We are very excited to have Chatter, Inc, and David Raine, believe in our vision to build “The Ultimate Kids’ Internet™”, that we call “TUKI™”, based on safety and education.” Parents will have peace of mind about internet surfing.

“CEN’s TUKI Kid Safe Browser™ utilizes incredible technology that allows children to surf only safe, parent-approved, child-appropriate websites. Unlike a typical filter, this browser pulls information from a list of approved websites only, the safest and most reliable method according to industry experts,” said Greg Writer, San Diego’s foremost authority on the topic of online safety for children. “The browser also has a function we call the “Internet Protection Module™” that prevents children from surfing the web with a unprotected browser once our TUKI Kid Safe Browser™ is installed.”

The technology is comprised of a Cartoon-themed Kid Safe Browser™ and a closed, online community for kids that includes a buddies-only email and closed parent approved chat system. This setup allows children to enjoy the Internet in an entertaining and educational setting while giving parents the peace of mind that their kids are safe. It works with any Internet Service Provider and is built on the Microsoft Windows Platform.

A very unique feature developed under license with Microsoft Corporation (Nasdaq NM: MSFT) is their MS Agent technology. Using this technology, Children’s Educational Network has created a 3D-animated cartoon characters that become the Internet Guide for the children to entertain and lead the children through their customized Internet experience. Parents also have the unique ability to program the 3D-animated cartoon characters to remind their children of chores or speak encouraging words while they surf the Internet.
