One thought on “MinorMonitor- Protect Your Children on Facebook

  1. When you first visit the site, how ‘trustworthy’ do you find the site?
    When I first visit the website, I find it very trustworthy. I like the fact that it has the “recommended on” logos, but think the phrase “recommended on” and the logos themselves should be bigger. Possibly placing them right under the Minor Monitor logo would catch the consumers eye better.

    As a parent, are you encouraged to use the site? If not, why?
    As a parent, I am encouraged by this site. The FAQs are detailed and would make me feel comfortable using this program. If I had multiple children, however, it would be a problem, since you can only monitor one child. I like the fact that it is completely free and also there are no contracts, etc. to sign.


    Is the interface intuitive? Is the website useful?
    I think that the website could be more appealing to the eye. Maybe add a little more color or a virtual video demonstrating how the process works. Giving consumers a more in-depth look at how the program works would make them more apt to sign up. I almost feel that ithe website needs tabbed browsing at the top to make it easier for people to locate the FAQs, etc.

    How does MinorMonitor help you protect your child on Facebook?
    It helps by creating an interface where parents can be alerted when their child is involved in bullying, drug/sexual related topics, etc. It lets parents view and monitor their child’s pictures, friends and networks.

    Any additional feedback or comments?
    I feel that this us a great concept, but they website could use a little tweak here and there in regards to the ease of use and also capturing the audience with colors and an actual video demonstration. This will allow parents to see the benefits of the website. I personally like to see what I’m signing up for before actually signing up.
