The Internet For Kids
It's a fine line... we all want kids to use the internet to learn and communicate, but they need to be kept safe on the "wild, wild web."

KidZui is a fun service that only lets kids browse sites that are reviewed by teachers and parents, so they're free to explore with some measure of safety.

The Death Of The Internet?
We see stories right and left about the internet infusing itself into so many different phases of our life, it seems almost impossible to think of a world without it.

Some columnists, though, are putting forth this idea: "closed" devices like the iPhone, XBox, and even your cell phone are killing today's idea of "the internet." Read more about it at Newsweek.

url.com
I'm always looking for better ways to search. Google, Yahoo! and all the rest just don't cut it.

My latest obsession is url.com, which takes traditional searches and ranks results based on human feedback, which (theoretically) gets you closer to what you're looking for.
