Totlol is a community-moderated video website designed for kids under the age
of 13.
All videos available at Totlol are intended to be enjoyed by kids. At the same
time Totlol filters the "bad videos" it also eliminates most of the
frustration involved in looking for "good videos". Parents and kids
can thus
focus on "how interesting" instead of "if relevant" and on
"how likable"
instead of "is appropriate".
