What is WOT? Web Of Trust, of course. It is a way to tell if a website you are unfamiliar with is safe, secure, child-friendly, trust-worthy. Here is how you use it:
1. Go to www.mywot.com.
2. Download the free program that interfaces with Firefox, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer and Safari.
What happens is when you are on Google (or Yahoo!, Bing, Wikipedia and other popular sites) and you do a search, you will see a round green icon next to the sites that are trust-worthy. See the "O" in WOT? That's the green icon! If the site is questionable you might see a yellow icon. If you see a red icon DON'T GO THERE! If a site has not been rated you will see a gray icon with a question mark. As part of downloading WOT you are now able to rate any website. So now you are part of the WOT community!
