I don’t think the personalization was so much aimed at parents, but in the case of ToonsTunes, it’s the kids doing the personalization. My kids love to do creative things and spend endless hours doing karioke on the Wii. ToonsTunes was something I really thought they’d enjoy. However, when I tried to “sell” it to them, they didn’t seem interested. Maybe I’ll show them the TC video (they are 7 and 10 year old girls).

I think your disagreement is pretty clear. My view on this as written in the past has been that personalization has to be serendipitous. If we countinue to do all the work, what’s the point of having all the machines and their horse power. In other words, we need to rethink personalization completely.

Facebook was going down this route but unfortunately they are not any more instead of going down the route of plenty. Anyway great response from you :-)

Now if we could get more parents to chime in and share their opinions.

You’re not alone. One of the judges on the TC50 panel also wondered whether parents would take the time to personalize books for their kids. It could get old over time.

Boooooooo! Which parents have time to create a story book for their children? I think personalization is becoming overrated. I do not want to personalize every detail of my life, that is what I pay others to do.

In economics it’s called comparative advantage. We need to get back to the basics of building our economy, not servicing it!

Just my two sense and I am sure plenty will agree.
