Ask for Kids (formerly known as Ask Jeeves for Kids) is
a fast, easy and kid-friendly way for kids to search online. Designed
to be a fun destination site focused on learning and "edu-tainment,"
Ask for Kids uses natural-language technology that allows kids
to ask questions and perform web searches, such as "When did Hawaii become a state?" or "What's
it like to live in space?"or even "Convert
122 inches into feet" in the same way they would ask
a parent, friend or teacher.
Our service combines human editorial judgment, age-appropriate
feature content and filtering technology to enable kids to find
both relevant and befitting information on the Web.
Where's Jeeves?
After ten years of dutifully helping kids answer questions for
their homework, learn more about their world, or to just be able
help them answer the eternal "Why?" Jeeves decided his
work was done.
Why? Kids are smart, and they catch on fast -- especially about
how to use technology. The need for an "at-your-service"
butler wasn't as important as kids came to the site to do more
than just ask questions. They wanted a search engine that would
allow them to to search and experience as much of the Web as possible.
It's their learning and entertainment hub!
So, Ask for Kids focused on modernizing its search engine technology,
and giving kids tools that would make their searches experience
better and more satisfying. Today, our mission is to help kids
find what they need through an exciting, ever-changing web. No
matter what a kid's imagination can dream up, Ask for Kids is
committed to meeting their challenge, and making it the best search
engine for them.
Here's to Ask for Kids - the most demanding, inquisitive searchers
of all.
