[OPLINTECH] Microsoft to offer Family Safety Filtering Service

[JKENZIG]

Hi All,
I wanted to pass along this new service from Microsoft.  It is called
Family Safety.  It is a free service that Microsoft will be offering to
allow parents and family's to filter the content on their own internet. 

Family Safety (Beta) from Windows Live OneCare can help you protect your
children. Libraries could one day maybe use this as a filtering solution
so it is of interest. 

Family Safety gives you the tools you need to help protect your children
from online content that you think is inappropriate. This service also
lets you customize the Internet experience for you and your family.

Family Safety can help you protect your children from web content that
you think is inappropriate. 

Choose a setting based on your children's ages, or create your own
customized setting. Approve or block website categories that you
specify. Create an allow/block list for specific websites.
