Kidzworld's Official Blog

AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! — A Reckless Disregard for Gravity, mentioned in this week’s gaming news post, is another sort of independent game with an extremely eye-catching title. In the game, you go skydiving off of skyscrapers, trying to go through rings and stuff to get extra points. You can get it cheap off of Steam (game download program that comes with Valve titles like Half-Life, but you can download it on your own) before it comes out, I’ve played the demo, and it’s really fun. Don’t expect it to be realistic or anything, though.

Zac Efron is one of Hollywood’s hottest young stars. It’s no wonder his newest film, 17 Again, topped the box office, grossing $24.1 million! The movie follows Mike O’Donnell as he relives his senior year of high school. He’s given the chance to change is life, to pursue his dreams rather than his responsibilities. But is it worth losing his family? Check out kidzworld.com for a summary of 17 Again and more of the latest movie reviews.

With Zac’s rising stardom–and his ever-growing charisma and good looks–he’s bound to be in the public eye for many years to come. But with fame comes…you guessed it, books! While there are only a handful of Zac books in print so far, you can bet that more life stories will be flying onto the shelves soon enough.

Currently, you’ll find a few unauthorized biographies of Zac’s life and career, as well as Zac Efron Annuals! If you already own the 2009 copy, you won’t have to wait long for next year’s edition. The Zac Efron Annual 2010: Even More Zac will be released on October 6, 2009.

Kidzworld is a website for kids, mostly Tweens, kids ages 9 – 14. It is a safe and secure, content-driven social community for Tweens, kids ages nine to fourteen.

When founder Allen W. Achilles established Kidzworld in July 1999, there were no safe kids websites, in fact there were very few websites for kids. At kidzworld the users can read the latest movie reviews, recent book reviews, new toy reviews, find school science fair projects, read series book reviews and find out about top kids books. They can meet other kids in the safe kids chat room, or in the kids message boards.

Every place in  Kidzworld that provides users with the ability to interact with one another is moderated. Not by a machine, but by a real live human being. Our “mods” as the kids know them are well trained, and in some cases have been with us for years.

Kidzworld leverages advanced technology to allow kids to express themselves through the creation of original content in a number of different ways. They interact with each other in the kids only chat room and through active engaging postings on our kids message boards:  “The boards“.  They are able to get advice for kids from other kids and talk about kids dating with other kids.

In the KW Zone, their user profile, is a safe and secure way for them to let other kids know who they are and what they are interested in. This area is always monitored – which is something no other kids website provides. In fact, everything kids do at Kidzworld  where they can interact with each other is moderated. Thus, there is no ability to share or disclose personally identifiable information. Kidzworld truly is the best website for kids.

At Kidzworld, we strive to enrich, empower and engage kids and Tweens worldwide by providing a responsible platform where they can play and create; explore and discover; gather and interact. This is also a kids games site where they can enter video game contests, play games, get game cheat hints, find the latest game reviews and read about trading cards. In the entertainment section they can read the latest celebrity bios and get news on celebs. They can also read the latest movie reviews and new DVD movie reviews

The safety and security of our kids at Kidzworld is at the core of our mandate as the best website for kids. As a parent, you can have confidence that Kidzworld is a great website for kids and Teens providing a safem secure empowering experience for your child or children.

Maybe mom and dad just got a new Digital TV. Maybe you’ve seen the messages across the bottom of the TV screen during the NBA Finals. Whatever it is, you’ve probably figured out that in the United States TV stations will only be broadcasting in digital signals from now on.  Whatever that means.

Just what is the deal with this conversion to digital TV? Well, it used to be analog signals were used by broadcasters such as CBS to beam sports programs to your TV. Then a few countries in Europe made the switch to digital and the U.S. decided to follow suit. It really is great if you like to watch sports on TV. I mean how good are the high def images you get of an NBA dunk? You can practically see the leather of the basketball shudder after Kobe throws down.

Digital broadcasters can now provide more digital channels, high definition service as well as all kinds of cool sports-related multimedia (much of it yet to be released) right to your house.
