The Walt Disney Company on February 24 confirmed that it has bought Togetherville, a family-oriented version of online social network Facebook. "The Walt Disney Company has acquired Togetherville, a social online community for families and kids," Disney spokeswoman Carrie Davis said in response to an AFP inquiry.
California-based Togetherville launch last year as a free online neighborhood where children ages six to 10 years of age can virtually mingle with friends and "approved grownups." "There are no strangers, no avatars and no anonymous usernames in a Togetherville neighborhood," the service explained at its website. "Only a parent can create a child's account, and parents are encouraged to use a child's real name and photo to build and foster real-world relationships."
