| 6 Ways to Protect Your Kids on YouTube
 | - Even harmless videos may have potentially inappropriate related content or comments.

YouTube.com is a force to be reckoned with in the digital world. Undoubtedly, it is the No. 1 video-sharing website, with 2 billion videos viewed every day around the globe. YouTube lives up to its name, enabling everyday Internet users to create their own "channel" online, a place to showcase their own video masterpieces for public consumption.
"YouTube, of course, can be a very wonderful, creative medium," says Cris Clapp Logan of Enough is Enough, "a place where kids can, at times, showcase their lives in a healthy way-in an entertaining way-but it should really only be used with close guidance and supervision from an adult."

Online "Porn Ghetto" Soon Open for Business

By Luke Gilkerson
The world is closer than ever before to the existence of an Internet "red light district" - the .XXX domain.
This new top-level domain (like .COM or .ORG) is due to appear in early 2011. What does this mean for Internet users? Well...not much.
Why have this domain in the first place?
