On the lookout for the big scoops, Ms. Information has her pencil and paper in hand and her ear to the ground in Zwinktopia. Who's the next celeb that's gonna pop in? What's the awesomest new item available? Where's the coolest spot to hang? What's the hottest new CD, film, book, TV show? What's the latest tabloid gossip? What's the point of owning an Atari 2600 in a Wii world?
With a decade as an entertainment journalist, 3,000 CDs and 500gb of tunes, hundreds of DVDs, so many books that shelves actually fall off the walls and a TiVo that's almost always in record mode, Ms. Information's just the gal to answer these questions and more.
Besides, if you can't trust someone James Brown called "a very smart girl," then who can ya trust?
So check back here at zwINK for the latest. And if you've got an interesting tale to share or just wanna say "Hey!" then drop her a Znote!

Mr. Metropolitan is the de-facto advice columnist and intrepid investigative reporter for zwINK, as well as an utterly original member of the Zwinky team. As a self-proclaimed expert and commentator, he's always eager to offer his opinion on just about any topic imaginable - whether you'd like to hear it or not.
Upon graduating from one of the world's leading educational institutions, Mr. Metropolitan tried his hand at journalism by taking a job as Sports Editor and General Beat Reporter at a local newspaper in his hometown. He left the job several years later, fearing he could no longer be objective about the insipid people and mind-numbingly boring events he covered.
Mr. Metropolitan enjoys writing, reading, movies and watching hours of mindless television. He claims to be an expert in many different fields, including gaming, gadgets, sports, movies, TV and music. As a result, he likes to spend his time giving advice to any Zwinky who seeks it by sending him a Znote and letting his opinion known on a wide variety of topics...including people that just might rub him the wrong way in Zwinktopia.

Miss Thang knows more than just a thing or two about guys. A dating diva, she has seen it all and then some and is here to share her vast wisdom about what makes the male species tick (or tick us off more often than not!)
Having been romanced by princes and peons alike, Miss Thang knows how important it is to be treated like a lady. Single, successful and surprisingly modest, she can share the secrets to making your relationships work. (Rule number one: No chivalry = no date with me!)
Miss Thang strutted her stuff across the streets of Manhattan (in her designer boots of course) for many years. A self-professed date-a-holic, she was wined and dined at some of New York's hippest hotspots. As a result, she developed a taste for all things sweet, including the company she keeps.
When she's not out and about (which is only by her choice, mind you), she curls up with her DVR to catch up on her favorite shows or gabs with her gal pals about guys, guys, guys.
Be sure to check in with Miss Thang for relationship tips and advice about love. She knows what she wants and she usually gets it. After all, she deserves it and so do you!
Little Miss Indie is a zeitgeisty Online Editor for Fun Web Products. When she's not busy "using words good" or skimming blogs for surprising factoids, she goes to indie rock shows, travels, and snaps photos along the way.
She also loves to experiment with fashion. For pajama day in high school, she wore layered slip dresses and black Mary Janes for a Courtney Love-inspired look.
For various reasons, she's no longer inspired by Courtney Love.
Stay tuned for her posts on bands you should listen to, Zwinktopia features to check out, and websites you need to know about.
Currently listening to: Okkervil River, Vivian Girls, Jenny Lewis, and more on Lala.

Miss Intern is a new member of the Zwinky team! She is interning for Zwinky for the summer (yes, it IS as cool as it sounds). She is fairly new to Zwinktopia but has quickly become familiar with everything, especially the Zwinchester because shopping is one of her favorite things to do
Miss Intern recently graduated from college and now is a grad student at ZSU, she studied Marketing with a minor in Zwinktopian History. She is a R.A. in the dorms so she will be available for questions about residence life in Zwinktopia. Moving from her home state of CT to Zwinktopia was a tough task to accomplish, but now Miss Intern is happily settled in her room in the End Zone.
Traveling is one of her passions and her favorite destinations so far have been Athens and Florence (the gelato in Florence was out of this world!) Miss Intern loves sports, she is a NY Yankees fan and loves to watch college basketball.
Feel free to drop me a Z-note to say hello and stay tuned for fun and exciting updates from Miss Intern!

Mister Snacktastic is one of the head honchos of the Zwinky creative team, but spends a good deal of his time working with the Zwinky PR team to get the word out about all the great features, events and people that make Zwinktopia so special.
From time to time, Mister Snacktastic may be looking for loyal users to help him tout what it is that makes Zwinky so much fun. Not that you shouldn't be doing so, anyway.
When he's not preaching the good word of Zwinky, Mister Snacktastic is writing snack reviews and spending time with his wife, baby daughters, and dog (MoonPie) in their northern hideaway retreat. And by "hideaway" we mean "covered in snow."
Currently listening to: The howling wind.

Mister E, a senior product manager in our FunWebProducts group, is one of the creators of Zwinktopia along with Miss Casey and Miss Anastasia. He is primarily responsible for Zwinktopia's games, events, and overall user experience. He hopes to live up to his name and create plenty of events full of mystery and intrigue for all Zwinktopians.
Although he was voted "Best Dressed" in high school, Mister E prefers to leave any fashion-related decisions to Miss Anastasia, Miss Cosmopolitan, and our incredibly talented design team. Besides, a "Best Dressed" tag from the mid-80s doesn't exactly carry a whole lot of fashion cred these days.
Mister E tries to make it up through a mixture of music and geek cred. He tries to stay up on the latest music from both indie and up and coming alternative artists as well as emerging trends in tech, gaming, and the web. Anytime he starts spouting about on something he's seen, heard, or read, we just nod our heads. You'll understand.
On a personal note, Mister E is married and has two kids that he adores. Being a big kid himself, it's believed he became a father to have an excuse to play video games and watch Saturday morning cartoons deep into his 30s.
In any case, Mister E is always eager to share news about trends and upcoming Zwinktopia events as well as an occasional parenting story, tip, or not-so-occasional blunder.

Miss Casey came up with the Zwinky idea about a year and half ago- and has been here since the beginning watching it grow and become something really cool - with tons of clothing options for the Zwinky avatar, to the build-out of the virtual world, Zwinktopia. Mister E and Miss Anastasia joined her to make this the best place to be on the Web!
She has had quite the life- with careers as a fine art photographer and English teacher in Japan for 3 years as well as travels to Nepal to climb the Himalayas and to Tanzania to go on a safari in the serengheti and climb Mt. Kilimanjaro - life never seems to get dull with so much to do and see.
She now lives downtown in New York City and loves to dish the latest on celebrity fashion, web trends, and great new things to do and see and try on Zwinky.com - where she is the legendary "Miss Casey". She loves to hear from all of you thousands and thousands of Zwinksters about how to make Zwinky.com even better!
