Petimo; social networking 'robot' for kids

Ever heard of Petimo? This is a so called 'social robot' which will make social networking for your kids a lot safer. It is hot in Japan.

Petimo combines the control on the networks of kids by adding a real world component to the social networking trend. This because kids can only add someone to their social network by letting their social bots physical connect with each life other. The parents then will also receive an alert that someone new is added to the social network of their kids. This means that before someone is connected to your kid he or she must first meet your kid in real. And that is an important extra control aspect on social media for kids.

Like I said Petimo is already a big hit. This becuase kids like it share messages with their Pettimo's.Besides this Petimo also has 'haptic technology'. This means that emoticons and 'feelings' are handled by Pettimo by sounds, colours and vibrations.

Petimo makes it possible for kids to communicate all over the world. Online there is Petimo world. Petimo is for kids between 7 and 9 years old. Will this also become a hit in Europe?
