U.S. - A developer dad eager to share their passion for sharing videos online with their children created a version of "child" of the popular YouTube.

Totlol.com receives thousands of visits daily since Ron Ilan launched it in May as a place in the network where parents can share funny videos educational or touching incident with their children.

The father of two children, a native of British Columbia embarked on the project because his son almost three years, as many children, was curious about computers and the internet.

"I met a boy who wants to know what daddy does all day at the computer," he said Ilan, 38, told AFP.

"No daddy wants to see e-mailing. And when you go to YouTube you see very quickly that is not designed for parents looking for videos for their children."

Ilan said that when watching videos for young children, he and his wife believed that "there must be something other than Barney" the dinosaur of a popular television program.

And used his own money to create a website where parents can join an online community that "explores" the popular YouTube service, select the videos that it considers suitable for children six months to six years.

"YouTube does not see everything; see just what parents think is good," Ilan said, noting that the recommended videos reflect cultures from around the world.

"It's a very diverse collection that is growing dynamically. I do not know what will come next week, but I'm sure it will be interesting."

In Totlol page can be found from a cartoon of Madonna singing "The Wheels on the Bus" or an adorable penguin dancers range of animals comforting each other.

Totlol allows parents to share the videos with their children, the way in which they would read a story, estimated Ilan.

"It would be presumptuous to say that show is like a book, but it has qualities that television does not have," he said. "Basically, parents build the collection."

Totlol not store the videos on your server, located in New York. The videos remain on YouTube's computers so Google could choose to display ads to those who see them.

Ilan opposes bombarding children with advertising Totlol and is considering other ways to make money with your site. "If not, does not work, but I sure will," he said.

"Something will change in entertainment for children. It is a new generation."

Statistics show that nearly five million children aged two to 11 years per month watching videos on YouTube.

"If a site is not designed for children is the number one destination for kids, we can do better," said Ilan. And their goal is to help parents find the best videos.
