I've been seeing these commercials for Zwinky and they were kinda getting on my nerves.  So what did I do?  I went to the Zwinky website and downloaded the toolbar.  Actually I had the toolbar from MyWebSearch which is what you get when you download the SmileyCentral toolbar.  So, Zwinky was just added to that.  Well, I actually had to go into the settings to manually add it.  Yes, it was a little annoying having to do it myself.  Then I noticed there was a little Zwinky head in my tasktray in the taskbar.

So I created an account.  They would not let me have Xanapus, it kept saying that someone already had it.  I started to think maybe I am going crazy, did I already sign up for this?  I tried to log in and it said that it was the wrong password.  So I clicked where it says Forgot Password? and I typed my email address and low and behold it told me that the account doesn't exist.  So, I just added an extra s and I got Xanapuss.

This is my Zwinky.  You can clothe them any way you want to.  Here are some different variations I've made until I am comfortable with it.  No matter what character you make the Zbucks go into the same account so it doesn't really matter.  You can have all the different characters you want, they will all have the same name, just different outfits or body/face etc.

 
You can have so many choices for your character that you could dream of.  Although, in order to unlock many of the outfits you need to play little games in there.  Almost everywhere you go in Zwinktopia there are games to play.  When you play games you receive Zbucks and it also goes into Zachievements.  You have to have 2000 Zachievements in order to unlock those outfits, scenes etc.

It can become a bit addicting and fun.

You can only submit your points from each game once per day.  Like you can't play the bowling game and submit your points then play it again and submit more points.  You have to wait a full 24 hours (or just want until 12:01am lol).  The games are really fun.  And when you have played all the games and can't submit anymore points then just hang out in the rooms.  They are chatrooms that you can chat with people in.  The way they see what you are saying is there are speech bubbles above your head like in a comic strip.  There is a way to talk to someone in private and they call it whispering.

So, just try it.  You might find that it's fun.  I usually play on the server Couch Potato but sometimes I move around to keep it interesting.
