The site's terms of service now read, "Welcome to the Internet sites of the Walt Disney Internet Group."

Togetherville launched in May and set itself apart from other social networks for children by facilitating parent-child interactions. In addition to viewing their children's social network activity on the sites, parents also can post messages to their walls, allocate “virtual allowances” and send virtual gifts.

The social network will join Disney's powerful portfolio of sites aimed at children, which includes its 2007 $700 million acquisition of the game world Club Penguin and Funschool.com. Disney didn't immediately respond to an e-mail regarding its intentions for its new acquisition.
