Think Instagram for toddlers and you get the idea of Kudos (formerly called Kuddle) -- an easy to use, gated community for children under 13 years of age, that is heavily monitored by parents or caregivers. Those under the age of 13 have to enter their parent’s/caregiver’s e-mail address to get approval. So for all photos shared, captions written, friends added, or groups joined, you’ll know about them and have the option to remove them via e-mail. Children are frequently reminded about the importance of etiquette. The app offers private profiles so you can't see another person's posts unless you are "friends" -- a process determined by the parents. Come children have complained about a lack of features, such as video, and a limited amount of things to do. There is no geo-location. This subscription service was established in Oslo, Norway, in March 2014 by the three Norwegians (Ole Vidar Hestaas, Christian Vebner and Knut Taroy).
