New giveaway! 5 Year Membership to ZooBuh!

This is a very close to my heart giveaway because it involves my children. If you have little kids and are thinking of skipping this giveaway... read on.

We are very protective of our kids. Period. It took almost a year of drama for us to allow them to have an email address. I monitor them, I have parent controls on my computer, I read all their email in and out, etc. In August, one of our kids opened her email to find a message form someone she didn't know, so she did what we had asked her to do and grabbed me. I waved her on and was a little perturbed to be bothered but went over and checked it out. I was shocked to see in her regular inbox a seriously pornographic email message, complete with pictures and all the, well, everything. I can't tell you how glad I am that she did not open it and see that. I thought I was doing everything that I was supposed to. Upon further investigation we found that her email address had been swiped by this place from a kids game site they introduced to them at school.

(May 23, I am a year older though...)

friend, Sarah. A while back she told me about a company she found that provided safe email for kids. I brushed it off. BIG MISTAKE. I am now a firm believer in protected email for kids.

ZooBuh! is a safe email place for your children. If you think your kids aren't going to have an email address, think again. My 7th grader has to have one for school.

ZooBuh is easy to set up, it offers more and better controls than AOL or Microsoft do, and it requires no extra software.

ZooBuh gives you total control over your children's email universe. By default they can receive mail only from users in the approved-contact list and can send mail only to those same approved users-but you can change either setting as you see fit.

You can have copies of incoming or outgoing messages sent to your email address, remove images or links from your child's received mail, and block some or all attachments. ZooBuh also has a bad-words filter, with a box for adding your own unwanted words.

ZooBuh has very generously offered to giveaway to one reader a
