Our aMap launch party last night buzzed along nicely, in the friendly surroundings of Piada, the fantastic italian cafe under our Frith Street office. Thanks to all of you diverse media, film and political types who turned out to see our feisty new baby spread its wings. If you haven’t seen the project yet visit aMap here, where you can buy our selection of pre-made aMaps, or construct your own online to argue with your friends…
Drum roll . . .
I’m pleased to announce to everyone in TeamRubber that aMap has now officially launched!
Huge thanks for everyone who’s been involved with aMap (you know who you are, and if you don’t you’re mentioned here!) + also, a big thank you for all those in the team who are now helping out with the launch.
Most of you won’t really know what aMap’s about – other than seeing copies scattered around the office – and seeing people frantically packing them up. To help understand the background to aMap you should check out the aMap site. Over the next week or so, I will also be posting up blog posts relating to the theory behind aMap – touching on the concepts of informal logic and argument theory – so you can all indulge in some faux philosophical musings.
+ finally, over the next week I’d like you all to help Jake and Helen in getting aMaps out to the world. As part of this we’d like each of you to list 3 or more of your family / friends who you’d think would like aMap and then send them a few copies. We’ve written up some standard letters to help – and Jake and Helen are there to help . . .
We’d also like you all to each create your own customised online argument (using our widget maker) and send these to friends / embed them in your blogs / online communities to get the internet buzzing with arguments . . .
+ finally finally – the next step for aMap is to get it stocked in shops – so if you know of anyone who works for a bookshop / gift shop / publisher or if you’ve got ideas of shops that could stock them do send in ideas to either me or Helen.
Huge thanks + happy arguing . . .
