Kidzsearch.com review and evaluation

KidzSearch - Safe Search Engine   Review

 By User: Kitten
Kidzsearch.com is the internet for millions of kids. But is it actually a good site?
Kidzsearch.com was founded and launched in 2005. The site is currently rapidly expanding, and beating out the competition. Let's see why it is doing so well. 
Desktop assessment:
Front page: Dated design, lacks eye appeal.  Promotes all of the products well, and is easy to access. Not user-friendly for a small child. 
Kidztube: decent video portal, but uploads can take months for approval. 
Kidztalk: Very dated design, but great rapidly growing community. Very fun to earn points!
Kidznet: amazing social network, modern fresh design. 
Image search technologies: low-resolution images make the site hard to use to find pics. 
Web search: Relevant search content and good looking search UI. Good job!
Music: not sure if this is meant to be a directory, or actually host their music. Everything is safe.
Top sites: A good directory of content for kidzsearch users, with a search bar added to find more. Good job. 
Cool facts: Some facts are kinda scary, but great technology. Generates a list of facts every time you open the site, and you can browse more facts. 
Kidznews is a directory of kid-friendly news articles that could potentially lead you to inappropriate content. Design is dated. 
Wiki provides over 200,000 free articles and lots of original content. Nice wiki design. 
Boolify: decent tool to help users expand their search terms. Not mobile-friendly, which is a drag. 
App: basically the same as the website, but can be downloaded. 
Games: the largest gaming site in the world has 55,000 free games, but not all of them are good. 
Mobile: the slick, new design across all services makes kidzsearch mobile far more user-friendly than it's desktop counterpart. Too bad the site has two different home pages instead of one home page that automatically resizes to the screen. 
Final thoughts: great community! I am being honest in this review and stating my opinion. I hope I did not hurt kidzsearch staff. This is the best website ever, and just needs a little bit of refreshment on the desktop design.

Kidzforums, a community lost to time

Image
Kidzforums  was the first kidzsearch social network and early predecessor of what would eventually become Kidztalk. The forums ran from 2005-2006, back then kidzsearch was new and didn't have many users. The most users ever online was only 10, on 4/30/2005.  Despite its small size, I can see from the captures that the forums were a small community that had potential. 35 captures are all that's left of kidzforums on the internet archive. Since only the home page was captured, all 7 topics and 11 replies in the community have been lost to time. We can leave it to our imaginations to wonder what they were about...      Contrary to popular belief, Supaman wasn't the first registered kidzsearch user. No, The first users made their accounts 8 years earlier and were members of Kidzforums. The users of the forums are in their late twenties and thirties now. They have forgotten about them, but we can keep the memory alive.  Here is...

Dramatic Kidzsearch Magazine Articles - #SaturdaySuperShare

*For the web version, I edited these articles slightly. Find the originals on the Kidztalk post* https://www.kidzsearch.com/questions/68875/dramatic-kidzsearch-magazine-articles-%23saturdaysupershare An All-Out Kidzsearch war. As written by kitten It was April 2019, and one user had an idea. Nathan, a popular kidzsearch user created a post titled  let's TRY TO GET THE MOST ANSWERS . By June, the question received over 100 answers and was gaining traction. Kitty111, inspired, wanted to create a post that would serve the same purpose, except, of course, that it would be geared towards girls. " WE GONNATO WIN THIS FOR THE GIRLS!!!!!!! " was born. Suddenly, Nathans's question was under threat. Immediately, the boys established it as theirs and an all-out kidzsearch war would be the result. The boys laughed and mocked the girls, but just six hours later, Kidzsearch moderators deleted unnecessary answers to Nathans's post, bringing the number down from 101 to just 26.  ...
