		<description>Bret,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thanks for the great article on Viximo.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Just wanted to make one small clarification as to not confuse readers.  We definitely see a high volume of transactions from women between the 30 -40 age range, but it isn&#039;t necessarily 10 times younger demographics.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Point is, that virtual goods are a viable revenue model for social applications with any demographic, not just teens and kids.  It comes down to providing the correct implementation and content for your audience.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thanks again!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Brian Balfour&lt;br&gt;Founder, VP Product &lt;br&gt;Viximo&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.viximo.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.viximo.com&lt;/a&gt;</description>
