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!

provide something unique in the world of texting," said Daniel
Neal, CEO and Founder of kajeet. "Distributive Networks provides
compelling mobile text content plus the flexible content management
platform to scale and deliver the service. Their creative writing team
designed a custom package of text alerts and worked closely with our kid
specialists to provide high-quality daily feeds in the unique voice of
kajeet. And, their technical team developed a creative solution that
enables us to manage both content delivery and subscriptions through
Distributive Networks' content management system."
Kevin Bertram, CEO of Distributive Networks, said, "We're
excited about the opportunity to work with kajeet, a company with such
unique position among cell phone service providers. Kids today are well
known for being savvy about mobile, and we look forward to a long
relationship of helping kajeet provide their customers with content that
is both entertaining and educational."
