One of my daughter's favorite Wii activities is the Mii Plaza and Mii Parade. But she has been wondering for weeks why our parade numbers haven't gone above 10. I guess she was getting tired of seeing all the same miis marching by.
I had already traded Wii numbers with all the Wii owners I personally knew, so it was time to take the next step. I googled "trade wii numbers" and found a number of links to message forums where users had posted their numbers. I wasn't too excited about the prospect of having to join a message forum just to post my number and hope that somebody responds. There had to be something easier.
Fortunately, one of the posted messages mentioned a site called Dual Screen Radio. I checked it out, and after registering as a user, I found a simple system to notify and exchange numbers with other members. Within a couple of days, I had doubled the number of entries in my address book. The members have been very responsive and friendly.
I then tried googling "find mii friends" and found a very interesting site called MapWii. After registering, your location shows up on a world map. From there, you can find more wii friends based on geographical location. It also has a built-in email notification system to let other members know you have added them. And the icing on the cake is that it is formatted to actually run on the Wii internet browser. It's only been a few hours since I've sent out my friend requests, so I haven't had any confirmations yet, but I'll report back later on the progress.
Just from the added entries from Dual Screen Radio, my parade numbers have already jumped to 16 in a couple of days, including a hilarious-looking mii named "Belushi". My daughter has been quite happy with all this progress, and there's also a little excitement every time the Wii starts glowing blue at the arrival of new wii-mail.
