Laurie Petersen, General Manager of Minyanville Family Media, and Bill Weisberg, COO of the Children's Aid Society, talked with NBC's Pat Battle this weekend about MinyanLand, the free virtual world designed to teach kids all about money.

Developed in partnership with Kaboose and the National Council on Economic Education, MinyanLand is now an official part of the after-school program at the Frederick Douglass Center in Manhattan, through a pilot with the Children's Aid Society.

Okay, I'm going to confess. I didn't really 'get' Minyanville until I saw this team on NBC the other day. Obviously the concept of financial literacy at any age is pivotal . . . and our children need to learn that it's more than buying and selling on Neopets or FB.

But please send these spokespeople out more often or post more videos because (as a customer experience/usability pro) my guess is that I am not the only one who was a bit confused by Minyanville and its layers of targeting.
