Tvosz.com, the video sharing website based in Egypt, has its work cut out for it. It’s come into an arena, competing with the sites like the colossal YouTube, which is embedded in everyone's mind as the first stop for online videos. Tvosz.com has set itself apart from YouTube in two distinct ways. First, it promotes itself as a family-oriented website. It's hard to come across a completely child-safe video sharing website in cyberspace, but the guys behind Tvosz.com are making sure that their website stays that way. They have personally taken it upon themselves to screen every single video uploaded to their site by users. And unlike on YouTube, Tvosz.com allows users to download videos directly from the website onto their computers. We're not sure where this stands with copyright issues. YouTube is having a hard enough time fielding law suits even though they don't include this option – so Tvosz.com might find itself in trouble if it features copyrighted videos.

The site also focuses heavily on the community aspect of video sharing. There is no limit to the length or quality of videos uploaded to the site, which users can then share privately or publicly, or in user-created groups.

But like with most community-based websites, Tvosz.com is only as good as its user base. Right now, with over 600 users and 1000 videos, the site still has a long way to go. We can help make a difference by signing up and taking part in building the first family-friendly video sharing website online.
