We have had a big couple of weeks at Meez. 

The first launch was Dancing.  We started introducing dance moves about 2 weeks ago, and it's been such a big hit that we've now launched a set of them (Moonwalk, Electric Slide, Booty Dance, Brush the Shoulder, BreakDance etc) since they really show off the power of an animated Meez, as well as provoke peals of laughter, as you can see from the ones below if you click on the images.  If anyone has suggestions of more moves, please send them in - yes, the "Vogue" is coming...

The second announcement was the launch of our CAUZ brand of virtual clothing, which is our way to partner with non-profits to help them market to a younger, more wired audience.  You can read the press release here, but the key win for us was getting so many well known brands (Outward Bound, Youth Noise, Music for America, etc) to agree to have their brands translated into virtual clothing and backgrounds.  In addition to the CAUZ line, we also launched our first 2 indie band t-shirts for the bands Stroke 9 and the Pinder Brothers - we'll be doing a lot more of these items since it's a great way for fans to show their appreciation for a band by wearing a Meez-created band t-shirt on MySpace, Tagged or Live Journal.  Finally, we added another Premium Collection partner with Blik (www.whatisblik.com), which is providing us with our first 3rd party backgrounds (see the colorful one below), some for free and others as premium items.  For Blik, which is an incredibly cool provider of funky wall decals, this is another way to reach their college and twenty-something audience online where many of them are spending increasing amounts of time.  Look for more to come as brands continue to look for ways to reach users online, and Meez is a great vehicle!
