Your Thoughts on a Unique Business

**jg_macarthy** · 10-24-2006 01:06 PM

I was just wondering if people would be willing to give their thoughts and opinion on an interesting product I came across. www.buddybrowser.com offers a child safe web browser that has pre approved site for kids to use. Along with this the software offers extensive features such as a place for the child to store, music,movies,chores list, and photos. Basically I want to see if anyone has thoughts and opinions on the businesses potential and its business model/plan. The product would be sold to parents of kids (age 3-10 30 million in the US), and has limited competition,and parent-centric alternatives (i.e. Webnanny) please search the site and read this article http://www.bizrocket.net/ and just purge thougths!!!!

That actually looks interesting to me - I think the market could be rather large - and it will certainly grow as time goes on....are you thinking of developing something like this?

Currently the product I am talking about, Buddy Browser (buddybrowser.com) is for sale. It was supposed to be purchased by BizRocket but was not. I was just gathering some opinions to see who salutes the idea and to get some criticisms on the it.

Ok, I see. Well again, I think it's a fantastic idea, one that would really fly.

I second Stealths opinion. Very good software if it is capable of all it states then that would be a big hit I do believe, You may even have a market with Elementary Schools, pre-schools, plenty because kids are getting online younger and younger as we speak..

How much is it selling for, I would think may be a pretty penny, and why exactly is it for sale.

Best of luck..

wow sounds about right for a program like that. cool deal.. congrads to the buyer..

**monaarts** · 10-26-2006 01:30 PM

Yea. I think a program like this has lots of potential. They should market themselves to day-cares.. Sell 2-3 copies to each daycare that wants one! Great purchase IMO.

i dont think this is unique as i think ive seen it around otherplaces. It would of been a good buy and i could see it easily making millions in licenses to schools especially in the uk and america. If its all its cracked up to be they sold cheap , 12 months on could easily be worth a few million.
