After taking Leilani, my Tropical Hello Kitty home, I decided to check out the Build-A-Bear site. They built a social network around these bears. So I signed up to check it out. Below is a screen shot of my character and Leilani… I am not that brown (at least I don’t think) but it was the closest skintone to mine available. And yes, my character is wearing a Hello Kitty t-shirt.
You get your own home and money to furnish your home. I bought a Hello Kitty table and chairs of course. There is one more Hello Kitty chair that I need to complete Leilani’s room. I only have one wall with Hello Kitty wallpaper because both walls looks really busy.
Look at Leilani taking a nap, hehe…
The Build-A-Bearville was pretty fun. The interface is cute and functional… Definitely intuitive — there were a lot of tutorials and everything was explained clearly. It reminds me of Club Penguin. Of course, these sites are not really targeted toward myself, so what I think is functional and great design might be completely off target with the intended audience.
