What's the only thing kids with cell phones like better than sending a text message? Getting one! Which is why kajeet, the pay-as-you-go cell phone and wireless service made from a kid's point of view, is introducing Feeds -- text entertainment and information delivered straight to kajeet cell phones. Content for Feeds has been developed by Distributive Networks, a leading Washington, DC-based mobile content and technology company. Distributive Networks is also enabling delivery of all kajeet Feeds through its proprietary content management and delivery system.

kajeet Feeds offer kids a daily dose of fun and information on a wide range of interests from sports and animal trivia to horoscopes, jokes and more -- right on their cell phones. Custom-created by the Distributive Networks team for the kajeet tween and young teen audience, each feed can be saved on the subscriber's cell phone or forwarded to friends. The Feeds service is offered at a low price of 10 cents per message.

The currently available Feed categories are as follows:

-- Word of the Day: Long words. Short words. Weird words. All kinds of words for kids to learn. -- Horoscopes: Tweens can find out what the stars have in store -- right on their cell phone. -- Fortune Cookies: Useful and entertaining pearls of wisdom designed especially for kids. -- Sports Trivia: Tweens with balls, pucks, nets, goals, bats, sticks, scores, players, records or rules (and more!) in mind will love this feed. -- Animal Trivia: Whether they love dogs, cats, skunks or all animals, tweens will be fascinated by these amazing animal facts. -- Fun Facts: Weird, interesting and amazing factoids, for example: What's the longest word you can spell with just the top row on your keyboard? Typewriter! -- Girl Power: "Grrl Power" feeds that put girls first, last and always with empowering and inspirational messages. -- Joke of the Day: A joke delivered to your phone every day? No prob: kajeet has a million of 'em!
