A new video sharing and social network, www.ekidtv.com has been launched and is the brainchild of local business owners Jay and Sandy Russo, of Good Deals Appliance.
The Russo’s had three objectives for creating the site: safety for children, a positive environment and creative outlet for education and personal growth. The family friendly site began when Mr. Russo was on the internet looking for videos on the YouTube site with his nephews and was exposed to inappropriate material for children. He decided to do something about it and immediately purchased the domain name ekidtv.com. The Russo’s then began to have the site developed in February of this year. The site’s goal was to protect children from internet predators, inappropriate language and sexual content. “It is an alternative to My Space and YouTube,” said the Russo’s.
Members of the site can upload videos and photos and create a profile. The site’s uploads are monitored by selected people across the United States for approval or rejection before video and pictures are allowed. A comment list for communicating with others on the site is supplied for a viewer so direct email contact is not possible. Games are also available for further entertainment.
“We are encouraging a positive atmosphere - no bullying or negativity”, said Jay Russo. “We are supplying a place for parents and children to safely enjoy the sharing of videos and photos on the internet.”
Jen Danko, software consultant and web designer for the site added, “We are looking to grow as the site’s traffic increases. For example, we have plans to add a channel to share ideas for home schooling lessons and educational projects.”
Although the site has recently been completed, it currently has over 1200 videos, and 80 members. Video, members and page views are continually increasing each week and currently have approximately 150,000 page views per month.
“We are excited to bring a site to parents and children that is safe and fun”, said Jay.

Very good looking site and fast loading!
I'll put a preliminary mention of it on http://free.naplesplus.us (as that will help you get great exposure on Google) on the 'Naples Websites' section, using your "About Us" information.
