Yahoo Kids
Yahoo! Kids was a public web portal provided by Yahoo! to find age-appropriate online content for children between the ages of 4 and 13. It was available in English and in Korean.
The website is used for both educational and entertainment purposes. It was introduced in March 1996 by Yahoo! to give children a venue to find appropriate, safe Internet content. Yahoo! Kids was the oldest online search directory for children.
Yahoo! Kids was discontinued on April 30, 2013, allowing the company to redirect their resources to their mobile applications.
A very special search site for children is Yahooligans which provides a safe environment including a search engine especially designed for children ages 8 to 14. Here is a place for even the very young to experience the web at its best.
Yahooligans! was founded in March 1996 by Yahoo! to provide children with a venue to find appropriate, safe Internet content. The website was the oldest online search directory for children. The website's editors stated that Yahooligans! was "cool, goofy, fascinating, fun, hysterical, philosophical, surprising, sedate, silly, seismic, popular, obscured, useful, and interesting". In October 1999, The New York Times reporter Michelle Slatalla noted that Yahooligans! was a "heavily trafficked site", with 463,000 visitors accessing the website in August 1999. In October 1999, the website received an Alexa Internet rank of 991 out of 22 million content websites.
In 2004, Yahoo! entered into a partnership with DIC Entertainment (now WildBrain) to establish Yahooligans! TV, which gave users access to DIC's 3,000 hours of animated children programs. DIC president Brad Brooks stated that the partnership "offer[ed] advertisers a cross platform purchase". Yahoo! sold the ads and the revenue from the commercials was split between the two companies.
In December 2006, Yahooligans! was rebranded as Yahoo! Kids.
Yahoo! Kids closed on April 30, 2013. In February 2013, Yahoo! CEO Marissa Mayer told an investor conference that the company aimed to reduce their 70 products to 12, increasing their attention on mobile device applications. In an April 19, 2013, blog post announcing Yahoo! Kids' closure, Yahoo! Executive Vice president of Platforms Jay Rossiter wrote:
