There is definitely something suspect about any parenting style that involves plopping your kids in front of a video for extended periods of time. At the same time, however, teaching your kids how to use computers and the Internet at a young age can be hugely beneficial to them later in life. Unfortunately, much of the content on the Internet is inappropriate for children. Enter, Totlol.
对于任何育儿方式，肯定都会涉及一些问题，涉及将您的孩子长时间放在视频面前。 但是，与此同时，教孩子如何使用计算机和Internet可以极大地有益于他们以后的生活。 不幸的是，Internet上的许多内容都不适合儿童使用。 输入Totlol 。
Though most of the videos are YouTube would not be appropriate for children, many of them are perfect for the 6 months to 6 years old age group that Totlol targets. Allowing children to access those videos on YouTube is a three-fold problem, though: 1. There exists no way to restrict their access to only the appropriate videos, 2. finding those videos is difficult, and 3. YouTube adheres to the COPPA in the US, meaning no one under 13 can technically, legally use the site.
尽管大多数视频都不适合儿童使用YouTube，但其中许多视频非常适合Totlol定位的6个月至6岁年龄段。 但是，允许儿童访问YouTube上的视频有三个问题：1.无法限制他们只能访问适当的视频； 2。查找这些视频很困难； 3。YouTube遵守COPPA美国，这意味着13岁以下的任何人都不能从技术上合法使用该网站。
Totlol, on the other hand, is essentially a moderation layer built on top of YouTube. The site encourages parents to locate and tag age appropriate videos and then pulls those videos in for other parents to rate and moderate. Videos are placed into a queue for screening by the site’s community of parents and only get published to the site when Totlol’s algorithm decides that parents have collectively deemed it appropriate. Approved videos are pulled into the site via YouTube’s API and skinned with Totlol’s decidedly much cuter player.
另一方面，Totlol本质上是建立在YouTube之上的审核层。 该网站鼓励父母找到并标记适合年龄的视频，然后将这些视频拉给其他父母进行评分和审核。 视频被放入队列中，以供站点的父母社区进行筛选，并且仅在Totlol的算法确定父母共同认为适当时才将视频发布到站点。 批准的视频通过YouTube API进入网站，并使用Totlol绝对可爱的播放器播放。
The site is set up to weed out bad content before it reaches any children. Totlol launched in May 2008 and is the project of a father of two young children from Vancouver, Canada. Since then, the community of parent screeners has grown, and for 2009 the site just released a major upgrade.
该网站的设置是在将不良内容传播给任何孩子之前清除它。 Totlol于2008年5月启动，是加拿大温哥华两个孩子的父亲的项目。 从那时起，家长筛选器的社区不断壮大，2009年该站点刚刚发布了重大升级。
Most significantly, Totlol added support for Google’s implementation of OAuth. That allows users to securely link their YouTube and Totlol accounts. The way it works is simple, users indicate that they want to link their accounts and are then directed to a Google page to log in. Once they’ve done that and told Google they want to give Totlol access to their account information, they are directed back to the Totlol site with a token that Totlol uses to access their Google/YouTube account. Never along the way does Totlol see a user’s Google login credentials, and users can delete the token that allows the accounts to talk at any time.
最重要的是，Totlol添加了对Google实施OAuth的支持。 这样一来，用户就可以安全地关联其YouTube和Totlol帐户。 它的工作方式很简单，用户表明他们想要链接其帐户，然后被定向到Google页面进行登录。一旦这样做，并告诉Google他们希望授予Totlol访问其帐户信息的权限，使用Totlol用于访问其Google / YouTube帐户的令牌定向到Totlol网站。 Totlol始终不会看到用户的Google登录凭据，用户可以删除允许帐户随时进行通话的令牌。
The benefits of linking accounts are that parents can then skip the community moderation for their own children and pull movies directly into Totlol.
关联帐户的好处是，父母可以跳过对自己孩子的社区审核，而直接将电影放到Totlol中。
That way, if you find something you want your children to see on Totlol, but either don’t want to wait for the moderation process to run its course, or don’t think the video will get through (perhaps, for example, it is a documentary about dinosaurs that includes potentially scary scenes), you can use the OAuth link to pull that video directly from your account into Totlol. It also means you can add videos to your account that are private in nature — home movies, for example.
这样，如果您找到想要让孩子在Totlol上观看的内容，或者不想等待审核过程进行，或者不认为视频可以通过(例如，是有关恐龙的纪录片，其中包括可能令人恐惧的场景)，您可以使用OAuth链接将该视频直接从您的帐户中拉到Totlol中。 这也意味着您可以向您的帐户添加本质上是私有的视频，例如家庭电影。
Overall, Totlol is a neat concept. Crowdsourcing the moderation of kid-appropriate videos on YouTube is a great idea, and we’re sure children and parents alike will love the site. It is especially impressive given that it is the project of a single developer. We certainly hope that no parents use Totlol in lieu of a babysitter, and that screen time for very young children is kept to a minimum (nothing beats real, live playing!), but we wish the site success as well.
总体而言，Totlol是一个简洁的概念。 众包YouTube上适合孩子的视频是一个好主意，我们相信孩子和父母都会喜欢这个网站。 鉴于它是单个开发人员的项目，因此特别令人印象深刻。 我们当然希望没有父母会使用Totlol来代替保姆，并且希望将年幼的孩子的放映时间保持在最低限度(没有任何事情比真实的，现场的游戏要好！)，但是我们也希望这个网站能够取得成功。
