It won't become too successful unless they offer a free version or ad-supported version. Who pays for web browsers?

I think this is a great idea. Most parents spend the cost of the browser at McDonalds in one weekend. Eating in just once a month would pay for it. I have grandchildren that I will want to help become computer literate and this is a great way for them to start. Good Job!

come on, the only way to make them computer literate is to
1) remove a random component from their rig, and have them put it back in
2) have 'em use Linux for a week, then, try them with DOS
2) Give them a book on a common programming language, repeat
3) have them notice I used 2 twice and this should be four
5) set up a filter system and challenge them to bypass it
I like the idea of kidzui, if I have kids, I'll get them Kidzui if they release a free version.

I loved it. The kids loved it. But it is buggy as can be. Beta at best.

It's a good idea, but I agree with menotbug...our 4-year-old has been using Kids Web Menu - and it's completely free. She doesn't want to browse through 500,000 pictures and videos. She simply needs an easy way to access the popular kids sites.
