WeeWorld was a Scottish social networking and messaging website, originally created in 2000 by a company based in Glasgow, Scotland, with smaller offices in London and Boston, Massachusetts. The company created WeeWorld.com, which hosted a massively multiplayer online game aimed at teens and preteens. The game was known for its brand of virtual world-based social simulation and customizable avatars known as "WeeMee's". The game was also released on a variety of digital platforms and services. By the time of its dissolution, there were an estimated 180 million WeeMees created worldwide.
The company was run by English technology executive Celia Francis (who joined the company in 2004)[1] by the time it went into liquidation in 2014. Its joint liquidators, Tom MacLennan and Iain Fraser of FRP Advisory LLP, effectively sold the IP behind the site to Metis Partners in 2015. It was thereafter sold to Opinurate,[2] who closed the website down in 2017. As of 2024, when accessed, the site directs the visitor to Dutch gambling malware.[3]
