I just listened to today's (Tues, 11/14) podcast.  It is interesting listening to yourself - I wonder if other people say to themselves, "I wish I would have said ....".

I think I would have defined PixLit - we created that word because of our vision to help increase the literacy of children through the visual media - maybe the combining of Pix and Lit is evident - I don't know.

Since we are an online distributor of educational content, our business model depends on partnerships.  One of the most critical technologies we have created is an easy to use "authoring system", whereby partners can easily "upload" their lessons for distribution in our catalog.

I am glad Joel and I discussed the member search feature of SUN.  It has been an unbelievable asset to us and I am sure it can be to others at SUN.

I have found a provider of multimedia science content, a college professor who is an expert on teen behavior, and a Spanish teacher, just to name a few.  A good portion of the educational partners we are talking with today, I found at SUN.

Are there any potential educaton partners out there that would like to distribute their content? - please let me know.
