Ask
Jeeves For Kids
Ask Jeeves is a unique service where you enter a question, and Ask Jeeves tries
to point you to the right web page that provides an answer. At Ask Jeeves For
Kids, answers have been vetted for appropriateness. Also, if Ask Jeeves cannot
answer a question, it pulls results from various search engines in its
metacrawler mode. At Ask Jeeves For Kids, no site that is on SurfWatch's
block list will be listed.
Yahooligans
Yahoo for kids, designed for ages 7 to 12. Sites are hand-picked to be
appropriate for children. Also, unlike normal Yahoo, searches will not be
forwarded to Yahoo's search engine partner Inktomi if there is no match from
within the Yahooligan listings. This prevents possibly objectionable sites from
slipping onto the screen. Additionally, adult-oriented banner advertising will
not appear within the service. Yahooligans is the oldest major directory for
children, launched in March 1996.
KidsClick!
Backed by librarians, KidsClick lists about 5,000 web sites in various
categories.
