Pikluk!

So I know I get pretty excited about a lot of Web 2.0 silliness, but this is truly amazing. It's an internet browser for kids, where the parents though firefox or IE select a list of sites it's okay for their kids to visit (with accounts for each child) and then those sites show up as big buttons when they open the browser. The site is http://pikluk.com/ its totally free (although is does require Flash 9 so you may need to update)

I had adapted a greasemonkey script to do the same thing, but this is so much, easier/prettier/better. So tell your friends and cross your fingers that they get Y Combinator funding for the Winter session.

I agree--it's pretty cool. And Isaac likes it too, even though he understands how to manipulate the URL

John, thank you for being one of our first customers! :)
Frankly we were shocked to see someone blog about us next day after we had released the product.

We're glad to hear you like it, please stay in touch and if you think we can do even better, - we're all ears.

Cheers,
Eugueny
