ABC's American Inventor Contestants Create Web Site

An “underground” web site by inventors and contestants is gathering strength after the premier of ABC’s new reality television show. 

Poway, CA (PR Release) March 23 , 2006 --  Contestants from ABC Television’s new show “American Inventor” have created a web site to chronicle their inventions, opinions, and experiences.  The theme of the web site is, "ABC's American Inventor might have skipped you, but don't give up!". 

The site provides a listing for inventors who want to be seen by the public, business contacts, and other inventors.  The motto is: "Network Shows are only interested in the top 10 inventors, Inventor Underground is interested in the other 10,000.”

The grass root effort at www.InventorUnderground.com connects to web sites created by the individual inventors.  It also links to an online “journal” called IU Blog – a discussion group for inventors who auditioned for the show. 

Several inventors listed at the site qualified for the show’s "Second Audition".  This round of eliminations was controversial because emotions ran so high during the judging. 

The show premiers March 16th, and is similar to FOX’s “American Idol”.  It is produced by Simon Cowell and Freemantle Media. According to Mr. Cowell, 10,000 inventors across the United States auditioned for his show, yet only 9 inventors will make it into the final competition.

Comments from listed inventors include: "70% of the hits on my website have come from you!!!” and "What a great thing you are doing for fledgling inventors."

Google searches for the term "American Inventor" also find www.InventorUnderground.com, resulting in thousands of visits by web surfers thirsty for more information about the show.
