The best techology I’ve seen in 12 years

Glaxstar is a company run by a very good friend of mine, Ian Hayward. These guys have built what I believe to be the only 100% full proof way of protecting minors from inappropriate content on the Web. Their newly released product is called Glubble. I’ve known about this for a very long time but have been unable to blog about it.

These are the same guys behind Mozzilla’s bluechip extensions for companies such as Google, Yahoo! PayPal and more recently, eBay.

They’re also responsible for building Segala’s (Semantic) Firefox extension to enable more trust on the Web by reading Content Labels. Ian has asked me enough times for a roadmap of functionality changes so I better get on with it!

Actually, come to think of it, Glaxstar’s Firefox extension built to our requirements to read Content Labels is equally compelling as it adds more trust on the Web based on standards and codes of conduct.

You can read TechCrunch’s review here.

Check it out, it’s fantastic!!! http://glubble.com

  1. [...] Paul is plugging new “Internet nanny” service Glubble. The Techcrunch write up is fairly positive, but I can just see Adam with a Linux boot disk in a couple of year’s time bypassing all my carefully constructed whitelists to check out the dark side. [...]
