MinorMonitor is the brainchild of Social Identity Services Inc, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Infoglide Software which has been in operation since 1996. With quite a history in application designs for fraud and security systems, Infoglide subsidiary has come up with MinorMonitor to ease the pain of parents of this era!
Basically this is a free service at present with aims to offer premium service for a fee later on. At present, you just need to sign up at their site http://www.minormonitor.com and give them your child's facebook credentials. This program will them crawl your child's facebook every now and then and will send you regular updates as to what is happening in your child's Facebook World!
You can monitor up to 4 kids using this service. Actually with your spouse in tow, you can monitor up to 8 kids with each of you holding an account.
Also, this system does not even require you to have any software downloaded. As long as you have an Internet connection, you can keep tabs on your kids.
What can you keep track using MinorMonitor?
You can keep track of friends
You can keep track of pictures
You can keep track of which pictures your child has been tagged in
You can keep track of their wall posts
You can keep track of their language
Why is MinorMonitor so helpful?
MinorMonitor is not just a crawling robot that downloads data from your child's Facebook account. It actually analyses the activity that goes on in your child's Facebook account and give you insights into areas such as:
Suspected bullying activity
Suspected abusive languages used
Suspected friends (thotse friends of your child with very little mutual friend connection etc)
Suspected sexual advances
The list can go on...
Is there any downside to this form of protection? Hold on to that thought and I will post my thoughts on that in my next post.
Meanwhile, do let me know your views. Thanks.
