MySpace's software for parents

MySpace will soon be releasing free software designed to let parents know if their kids have profiles on the site. Code-named "Zephyr," it's parental-notification software, not monitoring software, which makes sense because MySpace says it's designed to promote parent-child communication about social networking. It will be just another tool in the tech-parenting toolbox. MySpace wasn't ready to announce Zephyr because it won't be available for at least a couple of months. But the development was, it says, leaked to the Wall Street Journal, so the company made information about the software available to the online-safety community. For my best understanding of how it'll work, including what parents will and will not be able to see if they install it, please click to my special report today.
