I’ve decided to collect mentions of my son’s company Futuristic Lights in the news or on the web. I’m trying to collect only original pages, not recycling of the content on other sites. Let me know if I’ve missed any! Disclaimer: this list is not owned nor maintained by Futuristic Lights—it is my personal collection of links.
Pages created by Futuristic Lights:
- http://futuristiclights.com/ Their official company web page, with the web store that opened 2015 Feb 1.
- http://www.facebook.com/FuturisticLights Their Facebook page, where they communicate the most.
- http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1955422282/the-kinetic Their Kickstarter campaign for the Kinetic microlight.
- http://instagram.com/futuristic_lights/ Instagram channel, collecting some of their photos.
- http://plus.google.com/+Futuristiclights Their Google+ page. Not maintained much, but is an easy-to-remember link to their YouTube channel
- http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmPbW4fyon6l1y9S7vGGC4g the YouTube channel itself, with the usual impossible-to-remember URL
- http://futuristiclights.wordpress.com/ their blog, which doesn’t have much on it (they communicate mainly through Facebook).
- https://twitter.com/fl_army Their twitter feed: the Futuristic Lights Army.
- https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1955422282/galaxy-led-fidget-spinner The Kickstarter campaign for their fidget spinner.
