Kerpoof
Kerpoof was a children’s entertainment and educational website produced by Disney Online Kerpoof Studios, part of Disney Interactive Media Group. Users create cartoon avatars and earn Kerpoof Koins by making, sharing, and voting on virtual artwork. Based in Boulder, CO, Kerpoof was launched in 2007 and has grown to support a large community of users – prior to the Disney purchase, its traffic grew 30% a month on average. Revenue is generated through paid memberships, which allow users to access additional features, such as exclusive characters and avatar accessories. Kerpoof was acquired by The Walt Disney Company in February 2009, and the studio has since launched a suite of interactive entertainment activities on Disney.com, including an original site called ().

As such, child safety is emphasized – filtering and moderators restrict what artwork may be published in the community gallery.
Kerpoof has won numerous awards in the Children’s Technology industry, including the Children’s Technology Review Editor’s Choice Award in 2008 and the Parents’ Choice Gold Award in 2008-2011.
