Today is Launch Day for Armchair Revolutionary and You Are Invited

Today is the official launch day of Armchair Revolutionary! (armrev.org)

We've been working on this a long time, and it's finally here. Today we go live to a national audience and we begin to scale up our projects, activities, and feature roll-outs.

Beautifully explained today by CNET's Daniel Terdiman, Armchair Revolutionary is...

"a Web-based social activism platform designed to harness large-scale crowdsourcing and the boom in social gaming in a bid to support a wide variety of science and technology ventures that could benefit the world at large."

You can currently find us online (links below) on the homepage of USA Today, CNET, Variety, and ReadWriteWeb, as well as the national Print editions of USA Today and Variety.

The Hollywood Hill will have a significant roll to play as production house for Armchair Revolutionary's online media content and documentary film projects. The Play4Change Lab (The Hollywood Hill's new game lab collaboration with USC's Game Institute) will also play a role as production house for Armchair Revolutionary's games-for-change, serious games, and alternative reality game projects. We are pleased to have a wonderful group of advisors in place to assist in the development of these films and games. And as you all know, we have two great events coming up discussing online film financing (one with Kickstarter.com and one with a mystery company launching in May) and we ourselves are about to jump head first into that arena.

Thank you for your support in getting us here.  We're looking forward to your creative input, ideas, and suggestions as we move this exciting venture forward attempt to shape the future, one revolution at a time!
