Search Engine for Children? Thinga
January 5, 2016
Short honk: Nervous about your child navigating to Yandex.com and entering a harmless query such as Czech auditions? No worries. Point them at Thinga. For information about about child-friendly search engine, get the details from “Thinga Is a Search Engine Designed for Kids.” Here’s the passage I highlighted:
Thinga has built its own content library that have been hand picked by Heinley’s team or pulled from websites that have been white listed and are kid-friendly, so basically if it isn’t inside their database, then kids won’t be able to search for it. The downside is that we suppose at the start, search results might be a little bit limited but we expect that over time it will grow.
This sounds a bit like The Point (Top 5% of the Internet) which was available in 1993 and then acquired by Lycos. It is useful to know that good ideas come and go. A smile to the Point team and Chris Kitze too. Thinga uses a different business model from our ad driven system. What is that angle? Ecommerce and maybe a printed magazine.

What i do not realize is actually how you are now not actually much more well-preferred than you might
be now. You’re so intelligent. You know therefore considerably on the subject of this matter, made
me in my view imagine it from so many various angles.
Its like men and women are not involved except it’s something to do with Woman gaga!
Your individual stuffs nice. All the time deal with it up!
Nice to see people are still using those things. Great to hear from you, Steve, I hope all is well!
