Hire Lolcats to Teach you Spanish for $0.99
The Cat Academy is an entertaining idea from the folks at Memrise, one of the hottest and coolest (?!) sites for learning languages (and many other things) online.
Cat Academy released their first iPhone app, called CatSpanish. The idea is quite simple: Cats are cute. Well, there's actually a lot more to it than that, but as far as marketing goes, finally finding a practical use for the Lolcat meme has already proven to be quite a coup.
