"Teens can outfit their WeeMee with Skintimate-branded assets on their iPhone and act as brand ambassadors. Accountability is at the core of our advertising programs -- we are able to provide Skintimate and our other clients quantifiable results for viral reach when users share with friends through the WeeWorld platform, as well as through viral extensions on Facebook, MySpace and beyond."
