Still missing the Alexa opportunity? Here’s one more bullet to push you forward. Amazon today announced the launch of the first Alexa skills made especially for kids, with skills from Sesame Street, SpongeBob SquarePants, and others. I just checked the skills on my Echo dot and they look phenomenal. The stories are designed specifically for kids, with the voice of actual characters (like SpongeBob). They are engaging, fun, and easy to play. By the way, the Alexa Skills Store now has more than 18,000 skills made by Amazon, businesses, and third-party developers.
