Kids' Click


The web is a wonderful place for children to explore and learn - but as any net-savvy parent will tell you, there is plenty to be worried about out there as well.

Kidsclick.org is a site created by librarians that aims to allay our concerns by providing a search engine of content that is suitable for younger surfers.

The site covers more than 600 subjects, from health to sports & the arts.

Instead of using spiders and search bots to sniff out the content like regular search engines, this content is all human-filtered - so you can be sure that the results you get back will be age-appropriate.

Simon's Cat


The cutest cartoon on the Internet. You might have seen one or two of these films doing the viral rounds, but there is plenty more to look at if you head to simonscat.com.

As well as the films you can link to Simon's Cat on Facebook and Twitter, and view a gallery of pictures submitted by visitors to the site.

The website design is in perfect harmony with the content. Not only is this a cat lovers' heaven but even those who do not like cats will get a kick out of it.

The author of these cartoons has managed to capture the idiosyncrasies of our feline companions so brilliantly it will not fail to melt your heart.
