MIAMI, Dec. 10, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dolphin Digital Media, Inc. (OTCBB:DPDM) announces the coming of group functionality in January 2010 for Dolphin Secure, a family Internet safety solution that allows parents to establish and enforce their own rules regarding Internet usage within their homes. Dolphin Secure (http://www.dolphinsecure.com) is easy-to-use software that downloads onto any computer in a child's life, and gives parents the ability to guide where their children can go, and whom they can talk to, while online.
Every child registered in the Dolphin Secure system is automatically granted admission into the groundbreaking social network, "Dolphin Surf." Only children ages 18 and under are invited into this unique online community, which features full social interactivity including email, instant messaging and photo sharing -- all under the protection of the Dolphin Secure system.
A group within Dolphin Surf can either be (1) Open: where anyone in the system can join (e.g.: a particular Little League), or (2) Semi-Private: where a group administrator can set parameters for who can join their group, such as age range or gender (e.g.: a particular Little League Division only open to boys twelve and under), or (3) Private: where a group administrator will have to review and approve each individual who requests to join the group (e.g.: a specific Little League team). Any group will have the ability to upload content such as videos and photos to the group page, send out messages to the whole group, write on an individual member's "wall," create a calendar, schedule events, and much more.
"We look forward to offering group functionality to children's organizations throughout the U.S.," states Bill O'Dowd, CEO, Dolphin Digital Media. "We feel our mission of making the Internet a safer place for children can be furthered by helping such organizations have a safe, effective, and fun way to allow their participants to interact," O'Dowd said.
