MySpace to provide parental software

by Trench on January 17th, 2007

MySpace may launch parental software:
I never thought MySpace would actually give into this but it seems that they are going to be providing free parental notification software…

Parents will be able to use the software, named “Zephyr,” to find out what name, age and location their children use to represent themselves on MySpace, the Wall Street Journal said.

It would not allow parents to read their children’s e-mail or see their profile pages, and it would alert children that their information was being shared, the paper reported.

I think that may make it the most useless piece of software ever. I think what the software will be is once you install it you click on it and prompt comes up that says “WATCH WHAT YOUR DAMN KIDS ARE DOING ONLINE, DUMBASS”. It may even have a virtual Red Forman that tells you that.
