To That Middle One who was dancing in front of the television with both hands shoved into the back of his pants:
"Hey, Middle One, what’s your problem? Stop scratching your butt in my living room!"
To which That Middle One replies:
"It’s my ass, Mama."

Wednesday, 9 January, 2008 at 23:59I am writing to ask for your help to join private testing on a new social networking website called VOOEASY.com. The site just released its private beta version for limited testing on January 1. We need some early users to join and help make this site better, together.
VooEasy is an innovative social network site which is very different to Facebook and MySpace. It allows people to “speak up” as *TEAMS* rather than individuals. For instance, I am Asian American, and a full-time software engineer. I am also a member of a community baseball team Richmond Colts, as well as a singer in the local choir. I can choose to speak up as myself, or “on behalf of” Richmond Colts, or a member of the choir. I can created teams for each of these life circles (and spent some time to design cool team “VooCards” for each team) and invite my people to join the respective teams. The teams don’t need to be big. For example, I have a brother and a sister at home, and so I also created a team called “the Chang brother and sisters”.
VooEasy’s headline is “show all the colors in your life.”. All of these are totally separate circles of friends. VooEasy will be the first place to integrate them all into ONE. Try it! You’ll be surprised how much fun it gets.
For now, VooEasy will only provide a total of 5 (five) beta test accounts for readers of this mommy and baby forum. Please follow the following URL to receive the testing beta code to try this site.
http://beta.vooeasy.com/beta/?i=mommy
If you are early enough to be one of the early users, don’t waste it. You can actually “spawn” out other invitation letter. There will be no limit on the number of invitations you can send. So, please be generous. You can send out invitation emails to friends and family, and everyone can start playing on VooEasy!
Thanks for taking time to read this message. We really appreciate your help.
