The most exciting new place to sell aMaps is Ampleforth College and Monastery (my old school).  The “Does God exist?” aMap title was mostly inspired by my Theology lessons with Fr Timothy, so am super pleased that the Ampleforth shop is now stocking them.
When I was up in Yorkshire this weekend I popped into Ampleforth [...]

After a couple of months of sorting out point of sale plans for aMap – and most importantly, sorting out the “call to action” messaging, we’re ready to take aMap into shops!
The most recent shop to stock aMap is the Aarnolfini bookshop in Bristol – which is v.exciting.  So far they’ve been selling aMaps without [...]

A big thank you for everyone who made it to the party last night.  Given that we were going head-to-head with Twestival and a Soho snow storm, we were super-pleased that 60 or so could make it . . .

So a week or so on after launch, we’re planning a weeee launch party next Thursday (12th February) in Soho (London) @ Piada, 50 Frith Street.  The event will start around 6.30 + go on as long as people want to argue!  Please do come along and say hi.  There’ll be free drinks + nibbles [...]

Since launch 5 days ago, aMap’s gone stellar!  With 900 or so aMaps created (and arguments started), over 50,000 visits and 100’s of great mentions across the net, from the likes of Techcrunch to the Washington Post, aMap’s proved a real success.  Huge thanks to all those who’ve given feedback so far.  One key thing [...]

“Logic is the anatomy of thought” – John Locke
Formal logic holds that a good argument is a “sound” argument – i.e. an argument in which the truth of the propositions logically guarantees the truth of the conclusion.
By using formal logic, it is possible to infer (via deduction or induction) whether an argument is sound or [...]

As aMap’s in its infancy, we’re always keen to get as much feedback on both the interactive widget and printed maps as possible – so if you’ve got any ideas for improvements, then do drop us a note and we can take them into account for the next iteration.
We’re also keen for people to spot [...]

This evening at the Bettr and Social Innovation Camp joint drinks we’ll be launching aMap to the education community.  This is an exciting time for us have slaved over aMap for the last couple of years.  If you’re around do come along – kick off is at 6.30 at Demos’ office near London Bridge.
Over the [...]

So for the past week amongst the million other things on my plate at the mo, I’ve been spending a fair amount of time testing the aMap site and widget.  The team (ben, dan, nigel, allen and laura) have finally managed to get the site live on the amap.org.uk – which is v.cool + now [...]
