We've launched!!!!

How and where do I start? What a surreal experience. We pulled it off and are now officially...real (and virtual)

We've launched simultaneously in the real and virtual worlds. At precisely 12noon EST...our traditional and social media press releases hit the wires, our site and press room went live and our event began in Second Life on our Island, crayonville (same name as our dot com site)

I am so happy and relieved, but most importantly energized by the possibilities that lie ahead and by the future.

A big thank you to the amazing folks at MillionsOfUs (Reuben, Versu and the rest of the team) for EVERYTHING today - including juggling a waiting list and 57 avatars at the same time. The audio track/synching was fantastic...and save the teensiest of white noise (which CC covered for), it went off without a hitch. We have audio and hopefully video and will also most likely release a transcript as well.

I'll update this post regularly today with other posts...from other crayon members, attendees (including this from Ewan Spence) and press (including this from Adrants)

In the interim, here are a few notable links from today:

- our Flickr site (expanding as we speak)

- our press room with links to crayonCast - our collaborative weekly podcast - and Matthew Ebel's Every Color (YOU ROCK!)

- our new blog: www.crayonville.com/blog
