Xivio, Crisp Thinking Partner For Child Safety

Online child protection services provider Crisp Thinking has added virtual world and social networking site Xivio to its client list, incorporating its online safety features to shield children from adult content and other hazards.

Reporting record growth in the last 60 days, Xivio offers children, 'tweens, and teens a Flash-driven virtual world chat room environment where they can interact in customizable rooms with their personalized avatars. Xivio's existing child-safety features include Parents Zone, which is a control panel for applying child security settings, and a patent pending democratic content rating system.

Crisp Thinking will add NetModerator monitoring of live chat interactions to protect children from inappropriate conversations, bullying, and potential sexual predators.

Said Crisp Thinking CEO Andrew Lintell: "Increased usage of social networks and virtual communities is putting web site moderators under immense pressure to identify and track inappropriate content and potentially harmful relationships. Xivio is amongst the first to recognize that this will only increase exponentially. Crisp's NetModerator will dramatically enhance Xivio's ability to police their site effectively."
