The site was created by concerned parents who thought that they needed a safe place for their kids to learn and play online. We talked to the co-founder and CEO of Tinkatolli, Kevin McLean.<\/div>\n<p><strong>What is Tinkatolli?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>Tinkatolli is a multiplayer virtual world for tweens \u2013 basically its like a big virtual playground in a safe, secure environment.\u00a0Kids can explore, discover,\u00a0make new friends, hangout with old friends, play mini-games, compete with each other, share.\u00a0Its a universe that encourages kids be creative and have faith in their own ideas and ingenuity.<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><strong>How did you come up with the idea? How many are you in the Tinkatolli team?<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>We came up with the idea while looking at the games that our own children were playing. We saw fun games and educational games, but found very few games that were fun and educational. We started asking ourselves what a game\u00a0that kids really thought was fun but also taught them valuable lessons\u00a0would\u00a0look like? What would a game that kids loved and parents felt good about\u00a0look like? The concept of Tinkatolli evolved as the answer to these questions.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The Tinkatolli team is very small. We are only 4 people but we are very passionate and really hard working, so we\u2019re able to accomplish quite a bit, pretty quickly.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.techmtaa.com\/2012\/04\/10\/interview-tinkatolli-co-founder-and-ceo-kevin-mclean\/?utm_source=wordtwit&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=wordtwit\">Click here to read more.<\/a><\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Awesome thanks\u00a0Techmtaa for the\u00a0sharing\u00a0the interview.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey Tinkas, here is an interview with Kevin McLean Co-Founder and CEO of Tinkatolli.<\/p>\n<p>Here is the interview.<\/p>\n<p> We saw this cool website focused on kids and decided to check it out.
