We have a rechargeable blutooth speaker that sounds pretty good and is much smaller than the echo, but I've been thinking about getting another one just for the kitchen. I just requested an invite.

I think it's worth a shot. Looks like Bluetooth speakers are nearly $100 anyway, so some added functionality for the same price is cool. Assuming Amazon doesn't abandon it completely it could be amazingly useful with future updates.

I'm also working on a new song, the lyrics go something like this: "Alexa, crank up the volume. <pause> HEY EVERYONE!! I'M WATCHING PORN!!!"
I asked my Echo where Obama was born and it said Honolulu... guess the liberal media have got to her too.

She doesn't do recipes... tried already.
what a piece of shit.
Hopefully they will expand to recipes later. Since I'm trying to buy one for my wife for the kitchen (insert "good wife" joke here), being able to fling a recipe to her phone like it can do with shopping list items would be a nice feature.

"Alexa, what's the sound of a one handed clap?" 
But she does not know "If a tree falls in the forest does it make a sound?"
She does answer "Alexa, what came first the chicken or the egg."

"Alexa, how much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuch could chuck wood?"
"Alexa, what's the way to a man's heart" she answers but no answer for a woman's heart.
That's the first thing I asked mine."Alexa, how much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuch could chuck wood?"
"Alexa, what does the fox say?" 
You can ask what year a movie came out. who starred in a movie, and what an actor's most recent movie was.
She won't be able to answer if you ask what a specific movie was about.
