I see this banner on the right hand side of the forum. What the heck is Zwinky and how does it work?

According to teh Google:
"Create your own customizable Zwinky character by choosing your eyes, hair, skintone as well as your shirt, pants, shoes and other accessories."

Sounds like spy/ad/malware diguised as a cute toolbar.

I thought it was a euphemism for something 'interesting'.

The Mate 1 ads are getting more intelligent now when they pop up they use my towns name in the banner.

OIC. Thank you. Always wondered what's a Zwinky. Cute name.

Gopher · Jan 21 07 11:55

Definitely a candidate for an internet handle.

I like it. Reminds me of Twinky (spelling), the model from the 60s.

Gopher · Jan 21 07 12:22

Aren't you thinking of Twiggy?

Lise · Jan 21 07 12:23

Darn it. My brain's not working. Yep, that's the one.

Sportsdude · Jan 21 07 12:24

hhhm I don't remember the 60's too well.

Gopher · Jan 21 07 12:25

I fremember them, they were terrific - until just before the seventies when the dream went sour.

We had a 60s theme fair at our highschool. Everyone had to dress up like a hippy, do everything that related to the era, had music dances... it was way cool! Even the teachers got into the act.

Gopher · Jan 21 07 12:28

Yes, it really was an incredible time - we all had such hope, the 'universal brotherhood' feeling was paramount, we thought we were going to change the world and that we had actually initiated the process.

cool Lise.
I thinks some people around here are still stuck in the 70's and god forbid the 80's.
