Generally I would lump a lot of the work I do into two general categories.

1. Stuff that has been done before, but we do it somehow different, some might even say better.
2. Stuff that is original, never done before. In a word, innovative.

The innovative stuff is the stuff that gets me up in the morning. I am excited because today falls into the second category. I get to pull the covers off of something totally new.

A couple months back a customer asked me over lunch “Why can’t you just block the bad videos on YouTube?” I started into a technical explanation of how difficult filtering video streams is. Part way through the answer an idea sprang to life. I could barely wait to get back to the office and pound out a proof of concept.

Well, the long story short, my idea worked. Typically Internet filters have given you the option to either block or allow YouTube as a whole. But today that changes and we are announcing a new enhancement to Safe Eyes which provides clip-by-clip filtering on YouTube. Now you can enjoy watching Fred or being Rick Rolled (Rick Rolling filter still in development) without having to be exposed to objectionable content.

You can learn more about our YouTube filtering on the Internet Safety website.
