Teen virtual community, VizWoz (www.vizwoz.com) has launched in the UK offering entertainment, interaction, and game play. Aimed at girls and boys aged 11 to 14, VizWoz is the brainchild of Daniel Laurence who also founded the UK’s School Stickers and MyStickers, a school incentive and reward initiative. VizWoz includes imaginary worlds in a theme park style using flash animation with no download.

Two types of registration enable access—basic membership is free and allows users to enter and explore with others, send messages to friends, play games, and earn the site currency; Viz Dolla. VIP membership, from £2.95 a month, includes access to additional rooms and games, clothes and accessories for avatars plus additional memory on the VizWoz servers.
