AOL's new tool for parents & a Q 4 U

It will be part of America Online's Moviefone and CityGuide services, CNET reports. And it's designed to help parents decide what movies, DVDs, local events, and eventually music, games, and books are appropriate for their children. Editors at Moviefone and CityGuide will highlight events and media with the help of ratings (the MPAA's for films) and kids' media watchdog Common Sense Media. What's interesting to me is the absence of the Web in this equation. This development seems to be more about traditional media, and I wonder if that's because parents are not as concerned (yet?) about where their kids go online. Do you think the Net is less important to parents? Would you be interested in having experts rate or highlight Web sites, technologies, and online services targeting kids and teens? I would love to get your view on this - via email or a post in this blog (click on "comments" just below).
