KidzClix is an online magazine for kids between the ages of 7-14. The purpose of the site is two fold: to create an online educational experience that is entertaining, and a safe space for children to interact online without fear of online predators.

You create fun and entertaining educational games that draw the attention of the child. Keep it fresh and simple. The constant attention will bring it to the parents radar, they will review the safety requirements and testimonials and learn of a highly credible experience for their children.

The internet now falls under what is called “media” by industries. A term that many in the early days of the internet opposed, fearing that it would suffer the same fate as TV and radio. Nonetheless, it is still “new” media, since traditional media outlets such as TimeWarner and the big three broadcast companies owned by GE, Westinghouse Broadcasting, and Disney are still grappling with how to move their traditional advertising model online. Over the past decade, we’ve seen many of these companies buying “internet” and .com companies, such as the AOL and GE deal, to inject know-how and reach into their existing organizations. (more…)

We’ve all found it difficult to predict where the internet will be in a few months let alone in a few years. Rather, let’s focus on where we’ve been and see if we can extract some general themes and behaviors that have shaped the internet today.
