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.
