Project Details

"HotWired is new thinking for a new medium. It broke the mold of online programming by eschewing 'shovelware' and building a creative team of engineers, editors, and designers that produces original online material on a daily deadline. Since its launch in October of 1994, it has changed the face of publishing in the online world. It's originality in graphics, content, and point of view make it utterly different from any other online service." 
 
"HotWired is published on the World Wide Web. Its audience can connect from anywhere in the world. Hypertext links give HotWired members a gateway into the expanding universe of the Web, and links from other Web pages bring new members onto HotWired."  
 
HotWired launched with six channels: "Signal" (news), "Eyewitness" (worldwide essays), "Renaissance 2.0" (galleries), "Piazza" (membership space), "Coin" (commerce), and "Wired" (content).
