Thanks. We think this is appropriate for parents who are on business trips, grandparents who live far away, split family situations, parents stationed in the military, etc. We also have gotten reports that people are interested in using it to record kids reading books to show off to their remote grandparents.



Your site would be 10x more useful if you pasted the above comment directly onto the home page.


+1 on this comment -- I'm the market for this site (kids, 3 and 5 yrs) didn't understand how the site helped me on first view. That paragraph would've made a difference.


Yeah, I was skeptical until I noticed the 'special offer for armed forces' on the front page and lightbulb went on over my head. another vote for the chorus of tweaking your presentation to bring out the absent parent aspect - the first impression I had was that it was for lazy yuppies, when in fact you are doing something much nicer and more worthy.


I could see myself using it to read stories to my nieces and nephews that I don't get to see often. (6,000 miles away)

Thing is, French books would work better for them :)


Thats awesome, I understand the need a bit more now. Thanks for the explanation.
