iParent: RedZee

In the early days of internet search engines, researching any topic having to do with ‘teenagers’ or ‘breasts’ was a potential pornographic minefield. Search algorithms have come a long way, but it’s still very possible to stumble upon sites that will haunt the rest of your day.

RedZee hopes to solve that problem. A ‘family-friendly’ search engine, RedZee filters inappropriate sites from its results, even going so far as to disallow certain searches. I don’t know how robust its results are—some initial testing leads me to believe that its index may be a little stunted—but it looks like a good option for every-day browsing, and younger browsers in general.

Plus the icon’s pretty cute.
