Yes, i still like webkinz, but the technical difficulties are NOT fun at ALL. On webkinz, everything somehow has some problem. Kinzchat Plus does not work, the games arena does not work, and webkinz is down for maintence Four times a week.
Does this make YOU angry? Leave a comment to let me know.

Webkinz unavailable WAY TOO MUCH
Seeing this often?Webkinz has been temporarily Unavailable so often lately that it has been really annoying. even the obvious way to bypass it does not work. Are you angry? I am! actually, yesterday (December 27th) when the site first became unavailable it said it would work at 2am on Dec.28 but they changed it to "we are making the site best we can". That does not make much sense. if you are angry too, leave a comment in the comments section.
hopefully GANZ will fix these stupid mistakes that happen 4 times a week. In the meantime, i will be trying to find a way into webkinz by other means (maybe i can find a cheat) so come back soon to look for new updates.
UPDATE: i have been told that this MIGHT work some of the time to get onto webkinz. Here is the link: 66.48.69.102/
Please leave a comment to tell me if this works, or not.

Toontown online! Check it OUT....
Have you ever tried toontown online? if not, TRY IT! If you like webkinz, try toontown! With slightly better graphics, toontown is awesome! The only downside is you have to pay for it. I personally think it is Completley worth the money. Please leave comments BUT be smart! No personal information please! Can't be sure how many creeps are out there!

My Latest Video
Just a quick tip I learned to help relieve that "Temporarily Unavailable" login frustration when that pops up on webkinz.com. Let's keep it our little secret!
Is Webkinz for Sale?
Club Penguin got bought -- is Webkinz next?
Mathew Ingram, August 2, 2007
It's rare enough to have an industry-leading Web service that is based in Canada, let alone two of the top 10. But if you define "online virtual worlds aimed at children" as an industry, then that's what we've got with Club Penguin and Webkinz. The former just got acquired by Disney for an eye-popping $700-million (with $350-million of that in cash and the rest in future payments based on performance, in what is called an "earnout" provision), after less than two years in business.
In what is sure to become a legendary Canadian example of bootstrapping a company into the big leagues, the popular social networking/game site -- which lets its users play virtual games in the form of cartoon-like penguin characters or "avatars" -- was created by three friends in Kelowna, B.C. as a wholesome place for their young children to play and was completely self-funded by credit cards, angel investors and friends (much to the chagrin of several venture capitalists).
Webkinz is a little different from Club Penguin. While the latter is strictly an online phenomenon, Webkinz -- which also got its start about two years ago, but in Toronto -- is a clever blend of online virtual world and offline toy. The company behind the site, a third-generation toy company called Ganz, came up with the idea of creating a toy that had a virtual doppelganger on a social-networking style website.
Webkinz plush animals (which cost $15 each) come with a code that gives their owner access to the Webkinz world. They can then design a "house" for their avatar, and buy toys or furniture with their virtual money, or Kinz Cash. They also have to take care of their virtual pet, in the same way that an earlier generation of kids did with their Tamagotchis. And players can chat -- but only using stock phrases generated by the site -- as well as play games and win Kinz Cash.
Club Penguin and Webkinz are alike in one thing, apart from their appeal for young children and "tweens": although Ganz (a private company) doesn't release membership figures, it and Club Penguin appear to have roughly the same number of subscribers -- about 4 million or so, according to several estimates. Does that mean Webkinz might be worth $700-million too? After all, Club Penguin reportedly talked to several other companies about an acquisition, including Sony, which was ready to offer $500-million, as well as News Corp. (although Ganz itself has not confirmed any previous talks).
Looks like Webkinz is BIG business.....
