What is a WeeMee?

WeeMees are characters that represent you. They can share your passion for extreme sports, cutting-edge technology, punk hairstyles or exotic pets or whatever else you do or are. [Get your own WeeMee.](http://www.skype.com/go/weemee)

]]>How it works is that you go to WeeMees and then construct your own character from the many available components. And then buy it using Skype credit. Here are some more examples.

    Cute, though not free. The price is reasonable and understandable. I don’t bellyache with my stomach full.

  2. magdad255 said 2725 days ago

    I love skype

  3. zotbrad said 2725 days ago

    I just spent the last 15 minutes editing my avatar. And then it tells me to pay.

    You should state that it’s not free first.

  4. tedwinder1 said 2725 days ago

    I think the WeeMee’s are cool but you have to pay! I personally think it is ridiculous that you have to pay for an animated character!

  5. jschwage said 2724 days ago

    If you want us to actually use the WeeMee’s, I suggest you kill the cost.

  6. hamadalwazzan said 2724 days ago

    I think this WeeMee stuff is a little silly.

  7. danabg1 said 2724 days ago

    I download the new version of skype and it is great with the video call but i don’t like the new tones (the ring tone is also terrible…).
    Is there any possibility to get the old tones?
    Thanks,
    Dan

    bought wee mee and then found out problems with mac, non compatability.

  9. highheidyin said 2724 days ago

    I like weemees but it would be much better if they were able to react to emotions during a call

  10. jeicrash said 2720 days ago

    I would like to see the sign that says “F$ck Meegos, They’re C*nts” Explained please.

    Either that or removed.

    Funny though.

    And why arent all the faces available?

    The skull
    The mask with zipper mouth
    and all the other easter egg options.

  11. jeicrash said 2720 days ago

    Update to this:

    when creating a weemee you can type the following words to see the eggs.

    meegos (the one my last post was about)

    bone (your weemee becomes bones)

    gimp (hood with zipper mouth)

    Have fun.

    Skype: Do I get a gift for finding this? lol j/k

    There is a shortage of hair and facial hair alternatives for those of us over 40 — of course we may not be the target audience

  13. amiableprincess said 2719 days ago

    I like skype, but i dont know how to chat with my online friends.

  14. nebulaex said 2718 days ago

    These weemees are very cute, but I’m not ready to pay anything for them…

    @jeicrash
    How do you type something in?
    There isn’t any entry field…?

  15. jaymezz said 2718 days ago

    Cute, but paying a couple bucks for these things as static images just aren’t worthwhile… we should be able to change the WeeMee characteristics (at least emotions and stuff) after having purchased one. You should also explicitly state that the WeeMee cannot be changed after saving, paying for it, and downloading… I can see people being easily mislead about what they’re getting.

    Finally, one gripe of my own… in interests or accessories… where are the hockey sticks/gear? Soccer, (American) Football, Tennis, Skiing, Skateboarding… but no hockey? I’m in the US and I can hear the Canadian Skype users rioting from here! ;P

  16. jeicrash said 2718 days ago

    The eggs have been removed, However you simply just typed the words while in the weemee designer.

    Has anyone thought of taking a screen shot of your weemee? Then cropping it?

    Just a thought. I am under the impression that the weemee’s are not static, which is a plus to paying for them.

    And the cost goes towards providing new services and covering deveoplment costs….I’m guessing here.

  17. beancafilms said 2712 days ago

    WeeMees are for Windows and Skype website is not clear about that before you can purchase them. After done it the animation does not work with Mac. That is totally unaccepatable.

  18. jirka.m1931 said 2711 days ago

    I download the new version 2.0 of skype and it is great with the video call but i don’t like the new tones (the ring tone is also terrible…).
    Is there any possibility to get the old tones?
    Thanks,

  19. dospollos2 said 2661 days ago

    Well now im pissed off, I spent 10 mins designing my weemee and then it tells me I have to pay?

    I dont see why anyone should have to pay for an avatar, whats the world coming to.

  20. dxdinamic said 2620 days ago

    i hate to pay over the internet.. especialy for somethink that kind simple like avatar. you are all mad

  21. vastpark.com said 2314 days ago

    Hmm, looks cool. Maybe we’ll have to add a 3D version of this idea to our 3D web tool http://www.vastpark.com. We definitely want to offer Skype integration. I wonder how much work that will take?

  22. garrison.maultsby said 1966 days ago

  31. meganley said 1429 days ago

    I, personally, love the WeeMee as an avatar. The whole weemee world is dumb and a complete waste of money. It’s just like chatting but seeing random people! So dumb…

  32. nicole.cannataci said 1410 days ago

    Hello. I made a Wee Mee Avatar and I find it to be amazing. I wanted to ask you: I filled in the registration form and every time I press ‘Register’ it says ‘We’re sorry you’re not eligible to register yet’. Why is that? I followed all the instructions but I can’t enter Wee World! Please help!

  33. nicole.cannataci said 1410 days ago

    Excuse me! Danny_il, I visited your web site and I am very lucky to have a good anti-virus protection system installed in my computer because there is a VIRUS! I REPEAT VIRUS! DO NOT VISIT THE SITE UNLESS YOU WANT YOUR HARD DISK TO BE DESTROYED! When I entered the site a message from my anti-virus system said ‘Warning! This website may harm your computer!’. So for goodness sake do not enter it. I wouldn’t enter but if Danny_il does not fix the web site I shall not enter it. Please tell me if anyone else has entered the site and had the same results.

  34. whopperz7 said 1377 days ago

    wow… i spent the last 30 minutes making a weemee, and i found out you have to pay for it. why do we have to pay? ugh. it should be free! wow…

  35. garrisonj said 1324 days ago

    Make the avitar, screen capture (CTRL + Print Screen key), open screen capture in your fav photo editing software, zoom in on avitar and, clean it up cut it out and save individually… Voila!! You have it!

  36. evacarolg said 1274 days ago

    Um… I didn’t have to pay for my avitar and i don’t understand how you did… but i will not argue with a free item… and plus mine looks cool!

  37. ara10111995 said 1263 days ago

    Umm… so I tried creating a weemee and I found where it goes to the making of a weemee(where the little boy and girl are) I click and then it brings me to a whole different page!! what do I do?!

  38. matthew_grimm said 1257 days ago

    OMG I cant get the weemee as my picture. It doesnt show up! Weemees are cool but I need to know how to make it my pic on my Skype page.

  39. cute_hamster said 1247 days ago

    OMG i just found out that you had to pay for the weemee
    I have one thing to say to the skype people:
    Is this the only way you can think of to make money???

  40. anna-griffiths said 1245 days ago

    i like weemees but i think paying can be a bit ……
    different.I didn’t actully know that you had to pay…..

  42. lildog103 said 1212 days ago

    Dudes or Dudets i have made four wee mees and they were all free

  43. jesusfreak10210 said 1184 days ago

    Okay. I’m confused. do you pay for them or not? what are Klonies?

    by the way, bastilo2727, don’t use bad words. You don’t know who will be reading these. Maybe some little kid then he’ll start saying bad words and he’ll get in BIG trouble and it’ll be ALL YOUR FAULT!!!!!

    think about that if you read this.

  44. desiree-gutierrez said 1125 days ago

    I hate that its not free after when i spent 10 minutes of my life making one -_-

  45. millie.turton said 1123 days ago
