3 Essential FlashForward Websites

I owe you a complete Comic-Con recap of the FlashForward panel, as well as photos and videos from behind the scenes! Stay tuned for that very shortly.

In the meantime...I have been very impressed by the viral marketing campaign already in full force for the series. There are so many interactive elements at play that I hesitate to label it an ARG (alternate reality game) at this point.

Here are the three essential FlashForward related sites that I recommend you bookmark and monitor:

This is the main site that asks "What did you see?" and allows you to share your own flashforward. It appears as if they will compile answers from both this site and those given at the Comic-Con Mosaic Collective booth to piece together a world map to retrace steps during the GBO (Global Blackout). In addition, there is a site called Join The Mosaic, but as of right now there is no content.

This is the official site and message board of the creative team, sponsored by showrunner David S. Goyer. Lost fans will recognize the format; it is quite similar in style and function to The Fuselage.

This is the site of investigative journalist Oscar Obregon, a fictional reporter seeking answers about the GBO. This is obviously an ABC site, but a well produced effort nonetheless. He has already posted videos from Comic-Con and his 'office,' including a phone call with Detective Benford (Joseph Fiennes). You can also follow him on Twitter.

I've been to Red Panda Resources and the Flash Forward creative team are already active and answering questions, they are also posing some of their own.
