Check it out...it's Lexy's first testimonial! Here's a note that one of our founders received from a happy customer:
Over the past few months, I've been going on early morning walks/jogs around Mill Valley. Now with my Lexy playlist, I never walk alone!
Also, I have so many rollover minutes on my phones...it seems like such a waste to change plans or service providers (the use 'em or lose 'em strategy that the cell phone providers use to make it painful to make a switch). Lexy offers me a great added extra value for my stockpiled rollover minutes.
Now, whether it's on my walk, on the bus or stuck somewhere...Lexy is there to help me make the best use of my time. The content is eclectic, diverse and full of all kinds of nuggets of information and wisdom. Being a salesman, it helps to always have something new to talk about with customers and leads.
Thank you!

Creative Uses for Lexy
What a beautiful day in San Francisco. Here's a cool story I just heard about how a family is using Lexy...
Everyone in the family -- Mom, Dad, daughter in high school, son in middle school -- is subscribed to Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day quikcast. They each listen to WOD on Lexy in the morning, try to use the word during their day, and then during their dinnertime conversation, they have to try to use the word in conversation. Strong commitment to vocabulary-building and a fun way to bring the family together.
I imagine today's Word of the Day, "subreption," may prove a bit challenging :-).
