Wee World
WeeWorld is an avatar-based massive multi-player online social network. Avatars are called WeeMees. The first WeeMee was created in 2000 and is called Mikey. Anybody can play WeeWorld although WeeMees under the age of 13 are put on a more strictly monitored version of Weeworld called Weeworld Jr. and must use parental or guardian consent. Users sign up for free and are given a customizable WeeMee, which is a 2-D animated avatar. Users can choose what their WeeMee looks like and it's interests. Within the virtual world, users can communicate with other WeeMees by messaging them on home pages or chatting in virtual 2-D worlds, explore the community, as well as play games and participate in quests. Approximately 55 million WeeMees have been created worldwide. WeeWorld is currently funded by Accel Partners and Benchmark Capital.

Famous quotes containing the words wee and/or world:
“Four and twenty at her back
And they were a’ clad out in green;
Tho the King of Scotland had been there
The warst o’ them might hae been his Queen.
On we lap and awa we rade
Till we cam to yon bonny ha’
Whare the roof was o’ the beaten gold
And the floor was o’ the cristal a’.”

“The most disgusting cad in the world is the man who, on grounds of decorum and morality, avoids the game of love. He is one who puts his own ease and security above the most laudable of philanthropies.”
