Ask Jeeves for Kids
Ask Jeeves for Kids is a fast, easy and kid-friendly way for kids to find answers to their questions online. Designed to be a fun destination site focused on learning and “edutainment,” Ask Jeeves for Kids uses natural-language technology that allows kids to ask questions, such as “Why is the sky blue?” or “What’s it like to live in space?” in the same way they would ask a parent, friend or teacher. The service combines human editorial judgment with filtering technology to enable kids to find both relevant and appropriate answers on the Web.
