The Walt Disney Co., parent of Bristol sports programmer ESPN, has acquired Togetherville, a Menlo Park, Calif. social network for kids 10 and younger, TechCrunch reports.
Terms were not disclosed.
Togetherville says on its Web site that it is “a social online community for families where parents create safe online neighborhoods for their kids (under 10) to play and connect with the real-life friends and family they already know and trust.”
In a message on the site targeted at parents, the company says that “In Togetherville, your kids learn much more than computer skills: they explore how to be creative, express themselves and learn in a fun, interactive and ad-free way. We help them use technology to connect with the important people in their lives — safely and responsibly.”
