[LM_NET] Share: new children's search engine /yahoo kids

[Ann Marie Gordon <agordon@LIVONIACSD.ORG>]

I came across an interesting new search enigne called "quintura for
kids" over vacation.  Here's the link: http://kids.quintura.com/

The search terms appear in a "word cloud" which is intended to help kids
narrow or broaden their searches.  It reminds me of grokker, the visual
search engine behind the new EBSCO visual search.  Folks looking for
something to replace yahooligans might want to take a look.   

There's an article about quintura at Search Engine Watch, if you want to
read more:  http://blog.searchenginewatch.com/blog/061103-053932

Happy searching!
