		<description>Dean,

I just finally created a very rough landing page for my 8-year-old daughter&#039;s virtual world concept: e-pooz (http://e-pooz.com). 

It&#039;s kind of disgusting, but really funny. She&#039;s been working on character designs and a site map.

She has 30+ Webkinz, several VIPs, and spends a ton of time on  Poptropica, Club Penguin, and the Nickelodeon sites.

This summer, I&#039;m going to find a way to help her build out her vision for E-Pooz: A World Beyond the Toilet.</description>
