Microsoft announced the formation of a new consumer panel made up of 10 teens and their parents, who’ll help educate other families on ways to enjoy safer interactive entertainment at home. The Get Game Smart Ambassadors represent families from eight cities across the country who, through the use of an interactive Web site, blog and online social community, are demonstrating their commitment to safer video gaming and inspiring their peers to tackle this issue. The 10 Ambassador teams were chosen by popular vote on http://www.GetGameSmart.com based on a short video they submitted, highlighting their families’ approach to balanced video gaming and media use.
