Stardoll marked the occasion by offering its members 100 free
StarDollars, 100 million themed items for sale in its StarPlaza - including

credit as growing the site virally to what it is today, said Mattias Miksche,
CEO of Stardoll. "We continue to listen to them and have many exciting new
products and features planned for this year."
