Search Engines for Kids
by Lawrence J. Magid
As kids get older, they also start to
learn to use search engines like Yahoo, Lycos, Google,
AltaVista and Excite. These sites are great for finding tons
of interesting Internet sites, but they can also locate
places where you might not want your kids to go.
There are, however, search engines
designed just for kids. Yahooligans,
which is operated by Yahoo, contains only sites that have
been handpicked as safe.
Ask Jeeves
for Kids has the same natural language query engine as
the general version but unlike the main site, it brings up
only sites that meets the company's child friendly
guidelines. Kids can "Ask Jeeves" general
questions like "who is president of South Africa"
and get links to sites about Nelson Mandela, apartheid and
other related topics.
