Dailymotion and OLPC recently partnered to launch a child-safe Web video portal for users of the OLPC's XO laptop. The site, olpc.dailymotion.com, uses free and open video formats. Combined with the built-in video camera and software, this makes it easy for children using the XO laptop to find and share videos.
