WXEL TV CHANNEL 42 PBS KIDS Martha SPEAKS.. ARF

The mission for children to learn and to have positive examples  of character is SO crucial for us as a nation. And so woefully lacking in the media.

That is just one of the many reasons  I LOVE WXEL TV Channel 42 – Public Broadcasting in Boynton Beach Florida .

Programming from Sesame Street to history- commercial free.

One of my favorite productions  is PBS KIDS – with a major character being a charming loved shelter dog named Martha.

As a confirmed pet lover-I  am a Martha Speaks fan; and the link that tells you how Martha learned to speak is below.

This link is charming for children of all ages – including me ( smile).

Martha shows children how to love animals and to be kind – a lesson we all can use.

PBS recently launched the first-ever PBS KIDS toy line of preschool toys designed to extend off-screen learning. This move into the toy aisle furthers PBS’ transmedia mission, reaching children across all platforms – on-air, online, on mobile devices in classrooms, and through creative play. 

 The toys are exclusively available online at a newly launched PBS KIDS Shop, PBSKIDSshop.com, until early fall, when they will become available at additional online and in-store retailers as well.

This link will tell  you Martha’s Story how she learned to speak…-

Bank by TEXT? BANKS  FORGOT the  OFFLINE BOOMER MARKET -LOL

LifestreamBank of America Corp (BAC) is planning a new service that lets customers manage their accounts by text message.

The service, which will be launched in the second half of 2011, will involve two-way texting, Reuters said. Customers will be able to move money between accounts and respond to possible fraud alerts via text message.

“Two-way interactive alerts are going to become, in time, one of those must-have capabilities,” said Mark Schwanhausser, senior analyst with the payments consulting firm Javelin Strategy and Research. “It’s not enough to alert people to a problem, you also have to give them a way to solve the problem.”

HELLO BANKERS…

Yes Buckwheat–you out there-with are reduced budget- in the monetization world where 25 year olds are designing  YOUR marketing campaign for 60 year olds- at $125 per hour – how is this working for you, as my fave Dr. Phil would say..

this is a great IDEA-but not really  workable on TODAYS banking consumer- a hard sell Appsnewbie  thinks - it darn well better be a freebie.

FOR SURRRE.

Hmm- what is the monetization for this little extra perk?

OK- OK -what does it cost?  Sorry- fell into netspeak.
You also better not have fat fingers- and be a texting machine.Something alot of Boomers are NOT

Do you know that there are a whole lot of consumers out there with LOTS of money who wouldn’t bank by text- BUT in 3 years – a defininte maybe.

Ask the demographic of age 55 to 75 with a net worth of $1,000,000- ( OK
including the house) if they would BANK BY TEXT… Just asking.

I can see a WHOLE lot of peolple with a balance of %YYY551@333.LOL
