Totlol - Community Moderated Video Website for Kids
Posted by ilovegajeebo in Daily Featured Websites on January 20th, 2010
Totlol is a community moderated video website designed specifically for children. It lists the best Youtube videos for kids, submitted, screened and rated by parents.
How does it work ?
Parents scan the YouTube movie database via a special scouting tool on Totlol. When they find a video that they think is good for children under 6 years old, they tag it, add a description, and submit it to the database.
The video then enters a screening queue where other parents are asked to answer whether it is appropriate for the site and for which age group the video would be most enjoyed.
The screening answers are analyzed algorithmically and only videos that parents collectively deem age appropriate are added to the sites library.
Different Videos Categories
In Totlol video discovery service, all video collections are play lists of videos grouped by subject or theme. It includes Animal, Animated, Educational, Music and Dance videos.
In addition to the many existing collections, search results, tags, and subject categories can also be played as a collection.
