Ask for Kids

http://www.askforkids.com/

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!
