BBC News - Google plans launch of child-friendly products

 

...the company was aiming to make modified versions designed for children aged up to 12.

 

Google has not said when the child-friendly products will be released.[

 

As an example, a child searching for "trains" on a modified version of Google's search page might get back information about Thomas the Tank Engine rather than links to timetables and ticket-booking sites.

I wonder if this will include making youtube for schools work on mobile devices.

Looks interesting, but not sure how useful this would be for senior schools

And it will be called "Goo Goo gle"

This will be brilliant! I mean, it'll launch with a lot of fanfare and a handful of bugs, and there'll be lots of discussion on a Google Group for it... then a couple of months later there'll be a new release with a confusing new feature no-one asked for nor can make sense of, and all the same bugs... there still won't be any actual documentation on it, or anything... then the next you'll hear about it will be 18 months later when they announce they're cancelling it.

 

I mean, that's the path YouTube for Schools is on, isn't it?
