I've found 2 very useful and free tools that will aid in the monitoring of your childs internet activity. You don't even need to have a PhD in IT in order to set them up either. One of the tools may work for you, as I have come aware of this tool from my recent Comcast router request (Simply call them if you are a High Speed Subscriber and request it, it's a one time $9.99 Fee for shipping, but router is your to use while you have the service).
The company they partner with is OpenDNS. I've used this company in the past for DNS forwarding for local web service. However, they now have a service called "Parental Controls"
You can blacklist (block specific websites) and white list address of your choice. With the free service I believe you can only do about 50 sites. However, the free account does come with 6 level's of generic filtering (which are very good I might add).
Filtering Level
High
Protects against all adult-related sites, illegal activity, social networking sites, video sharing sites, and general time-wasters.

As a parent, I can "By Pass" all the restrictions by loggin into the client utility.
It also include a time of day feature, that can be used to allow access whenever I think feel it's ok for them too use the internet. However, ensuring they are not staying up too late or using the internet while doing chores.
Most routers do offer the filtering above, however it's nice too be able to do it on the road or change from work without having to set up a home vpn of some kind.
The next software that I just love is from Norton, and it's FREE (I would gladly pay for this service. I've tried to use D-Link/SecureSpot (looks very promising with the antivirus and spyware software, parental controls, parental reporting, pop-up blocker, identity protection, spam control, and firewall all maintained from one spot), I found it more of a tedious task trying to manage 6 computer, 3 of which I paid for the above services ($80 a year I believe). I'd find that sometimes, for whatever reason, the product wouldn't work. The logging is horrible and very inaccurate. I almost always got the banned banner alters (sometimes like 10 in a row in email) only to discover the actual site wasn't reported. Hopefully they can get that in order. Any ways, getting back from my rant. As a Comcast customer, they are now offering Norton Anti-Virus Suite Software. While installing the suite on my kids computers I noticed a banner for a product called OnlineFamily.Norton.
My suggestion is to create an account with the OnlineFamily.Norton. Features include (free)
All Activity - let's me know what site, when they logged in etc.
Web - Let's me know what website they are visiting (Allowed and Not Allowed)
Search - What is being searched for and from what search engine
Instant Messaging - With who, and can log both side of conversation
Social - Tells you what account username they are using
Time - For internet control, it will shut them down if you request
Summary - Over all graph of what they are doing
The best part is, for me, I have an 11 year old, 14 year old and 15 year old. For my 15 year old male, I know porn is what he is going to mostly into. I can control the fact that no porn is looked at and no harmful software will get installed on his laptop. My other 2 are both girls. My 14 year old loves to chat, so I can restrict who she is chatting with or I can simply monitor it (however it does not do the facebook or myspace chat recording). My 11 year old, I am not so much worried about the chatting or visiting bad sites, however I am concerned about material popping up that is too mature for her eyes, or content that she isn't mentally able to handle yet.
What makes this software the best that I've ever used, is the fact I can control and monitor what I want, and when. I can suggest things to be blocked, however there may be a reson to visit some sites, like for report on breast caner. We who ever happens to go to a breast site, and the filter from OnlineFamily.Norton stops it, there is a justification box where they have to enter a reason why they are there that get's emailed to whoever and are allowed to continue. At that time I can review the site as well, and if all is good they will never know I was checking up on them. If it's a bad site, I can have it shutdown immediately with the software.
The functionality of what I want to monitor and when is the best part of the OnlineFamily.Norton. Having been using the software I know for a fact that it's something I would pay for. They have a excellent Advice section for help when setting up the configuration.
Why should my family use OnlineFamily.Norton?
OnlineFamily.Norton is an online service that links parents to their children, giving parents the comfort to set their children free online while still keeping them safe and sound.
The benefits of using OnlineFamily.Norton include
Simple, one-time set up
Create your OnlineFamily.Norton account, add and customize your family member accounts, and then easily install the Safety Minder onto all the computers used in your household.
Easy to use and access
Check your child’s activity or modify your child’s profile and preferences anytime and anywhere using any computer.
Always stay informed about those you care most about
Know where your children visit, who they talk to, and what they’re doing while they’re online. Parents can also set and manage time limits, permitted sites, online chat and social networking preferences for each family member.
Engage and communicate with each other
Take advantage of built-in notification and messaging, providing open discussion with your child about their online activities and better understanding about their intent with visiting specific sites or wanting to spend more time online.
Never miss a thing
Send alerts via email or text message to help you address urgent events. You’ll immediately know if your child has reached their time limits, visited a blocked site, or tried to add an unknown stranger as a chat buddy wherever you are.
Thank you Norton, I've been looking for a trust program like this for a while. This software allows me to be one step ahead of my children, instead of them being one step ahead of me and hiding things.

Here's How To Read Someone's Facebook Email
I have the the Verizon Wireless BlackBerry Storm. I use BB Facebook App.
My info is as follows:
BlackBerry Storm 9530
OS: 5.0.0.328 (Platform 4.2.0.128)
Research In Motion Limited (RIM)
Facebook
Version: 1.7.0.22
While attempting to check my 13 year olds Facebook account from my phone, I discovered that when I sign into the new account, the main page is all of the new information, however when I select the mail portion of the BlackBerry FaceBook app, I notice that it is all my mail from prior logon information.
Which means, if a friend ever asks you to use your BB Storm to check out their Facebook account, they will be reading your mail since it never switches over too their mail. This is a nice security bug find if you ask me. What do you think? Should you be concerned or not? Of course, I guess it all depends on how one would use this information.. Maybe to:
- catch a cheating spouse
- monitor what you kids are doing
- social engineering from coworkers
In any case, I've sent RIM an email and I am still awaiting their response to the security find. I will post once I get a response from either RIM or Facebook.
With CNN.com reporting today that Facebook may "integrate Facebook" features and make mobile apps more useful at the FaceBook annual F8 conference today, this blogger can only hope that the leading Social App market consumer will get tighter with the developers when it comes to security.
A lot of BlackBerry users are using enterprise messaging servers with corporate email accounts. I've seen reports that the BlackBerry Storm also has been plagued by SpyWare.
Just yesterday I installed the upgraded Twitter App called "UberTwitter" and the application by default wanted to take or have full control over my phone for very little reason. Now as a Tech. guy, I understood what was going on, but for your typical non-technical user, I am surely the defaults would have been selected just to get over the installation tasks. There wasn't a single warning, only very limited instructions on what permissions were needed. Kind of takes me back the early days of shareware programs on the PC.

Google Voice
You have to request an invite from here:
https://services.google.com/fb/forms/googlevoiceinvite/
https://services.google.com/fb/forms/googlevoiceinvite/
I waited almost 6 weeks for my invite approval. However, once I got it, I was amazed at what was offered. Lots of options, in addition you are able to pick your own number.
I will be reporting back or this topic once I've reviewed all the features. However, in the US calls are free, SMS text messages are free.
Google, starts out by giving users a credit of $.10 for calls out of the United States.
You can forward you Google Voice number up to 6 phones with a special ring with call screening and caller id. Great if you have a small business.
However, Terms of Service is limited to 18+, but anyone with an email address can apply for an account, which means kids can live a obtain one.
This could be good, if you have family who does not live in the same area code. You can get a number from anywhere like their area code, so all call to you from them can be local.
If you are really creative, you can even search for numbers using "Key Word" search.

Tip #1 on how to get free money
Here are some things that I found for "Free Money". Who knew that these kinds of things sell. Cost about a whole $1.05 to list on ebay, nothing fancy or anything. But they are selling, and it's something we all have (or know someone who does that we can get to save or collect for us to sell). Have fun! Enjoy
Udated: 09/06/2009 @ 15:50 EST
Sold for $7.45
What is it? I have no idea, some code for an online community. Seen them selling and remembered, someone once gave me a stuff animal with an army uniform and they had codes in them, never used it, and just set it aside...
Updated: 09/06/09 @ 18:32 EST
Sold: $5.50
Ok, doing the math, 50 x .10 = $5.00.. I made this an extra .50 off something
that I would have just thrown away or donated to the school and not ever seen a penny from it.
Updated: 09/06/09 @ 18:32 EST
Sold: $12.50
If you add the 130 x .10 that is $13, so $12.50 for something I was just going to donate to the school and not see a penny of it, really isn't that bad.

One you signup, answer some of the questions (either search the site or google - 30 seconds to find all the answers). Get 500 points, and cash them in. You've just got 50 free downloads.
(I was able to get 2 codes for 100 downloads could get more if I had more points)

50 Universal Music Song Downloads

FYI, not sure if it was my Window Media Player or if it came from the site this way, but the *.wma files were DRM protected I also downloaded the single by Weezer Beverly Hills and it was not protected and came in *.mp3 format.
There has been a lot of buzz about "mirakagi" I would say check it out for good info on DRM.

1. You have to be a sysadmin or IT Manager at a company (ideally at a company with 100 or more employees)- We’d love to give these away to everyone, but hey, we’re a startup, so please enter only if you’re really a sysadmin at a company.
2. Only one entry per person
3. You have to use a valid work email address. We can’t accept entries from gmail addresses, hotmail, etc., as it’s incredibly easy to create a bunch of bogus email addresses to get repeat entries

Scratch This (Win Free Money)
So I just started on this site, it seems pretty nice. Kind of reminds me of the old days netwinner.com (funny they are no longer around). I do not know much about this site, other than I was able to hit the $1000 buy playing the Scratch or No Scratch Game.

Moola
So if you have a few seconds to kill, you can try to win some extra money (nothing out of your pocket of course). By playing Moola, it's a game where you simply 1v1 on one of 4 flash games. You start with a penny ($.01) and you move up by doubling it ever game you play.
What's better, is if you have a big friends email list, you can send them invites, and collect off their winnings. I've had the account for over a year now and have been able to case out 2 times now, once from my winnings and the second time from friends winnings. (The reason I didn't play was I was deployed to IRAQ).

No Pay Poker? You win real money
So I signed up for the nopaypoker.com website. I've been forever banned from playing poker in my house (long story don't ask). The great thing is, money never leaves my pocket, yet I am able to cashout!! What could be better? No if you've played at one of the bigger sites, like pokerstart.com or fulltilt.com, then you will have no problem with this site. Just use a little caution however, since it is unlimited money paid by advertisers, people tend to go all-in a lot more often than if it was their hard earned money. But if you are a solid player, you should have no problem with making that bank roll in no time at all.
In addition, I love the freeroll tournaments, they are forever starting. In addition, you recieve tickets for special tables for certain fuctions. Payout is a little weak all in all, but hey, it's free.
I've was able to cash out after only the first day on the tables. You have to earn $3000 FreeD's as what it's called on the site for a cash out of $30 from paypal. Since your not paying anything for the site, the poker room is 100% legal in the US.
What's also cool, is you can set up a room using facebook with all of your friends as well. So if your like me, and play the weekend poker games, you already know who's sitting at the table and how they play. Good Luck..
