Online search for kids: maybe Quintura?
It's amazing how tight the schedule can be in a person at the age of eight. Take, for example, my sister. In the afternoon she has a school, in the evening - a dance studio, somewhere in the interval - homework. On the day, Arina (sister) reads 50-70 pages, watches TV, communicates with friends and me in ICQ. Probably, she somehow alternates her entertainment; for example, the day is looking at the box - the day is sitting on the network, I have not yet drawn a pattern. But I know that on the Internet she, on average, spends 5-7 hours a week.
Arina has an email that is needed for registrations on services, twitter (not yet completely understood by her) and a desire to keep a diary on LiveJournal.com . The last wish hasn’t been done yet, because, as her consultant for online presence, I insist that real age be indicated in LiveJournal. Since, further, the registration procedure becomes much more complicated, there is a reason for denying Arina the conduct of LJ (the real reasons for this are of the same order as the unwillingness to let the child alone on the street). Nevertheless, the Internet as a means for finding information for children from 7-8 years old can be useful. Therefore, I would like to recommend her a search engine with a “clean” output passing through all sorts of smart filters.
Yesterday there was news that Quintura updated its search service for children Quintura Kids . It still responds only to English-language queries, but the Russian index is already being prepared and promises to be in early 2008. The basis for Quintura Kids is the Yahoo! which is understandable by tagging Based on Yahoo! Kids under the search results. Gradually, Quintura promises, the index will be filled with its own results.

Another "chips" - tips. If video or audio is found, the corresponding icons appear in the output. In addition, the owners of websites and blogs for children can embed Quintura Kids search widget on their resource pages.
In the same news, Quintura reportedly reached the final of the Open Web Awards competition on Mashable.com (nomination - “Best apps and widgets”), and you can vote for it.
