The New Bad Idea Website
Welcome to the new incarnation of Bad Idea online – here are some of the exciting new features you’ll find on our refreshed website:
– Long-form journalism. Previously, Bad Idea feature stories have been held back for print editions of the magazine. From now on though, we will be providing a regular diet of feature articles online, for free.
– Blogging innovation. Industry experts and special guest writers will be giving us their informed perspectives on cutting edge developments in the creative industries, finance, science and technology, and the green economy.
– Conversations with the world’s smartest people. In the coming weeks, we will be talking to Chris Anderson, Robert Peston and Paul Krugman about innovation in the aftermath of financial crisis – and those are just the opening names on a long, distinguished list.
– Read previous digital editions of Bad Idea. Our new digital magazine archive allows you to peruse past editions of Bad Idea, again for zip nada. Check them out on our ‘Magazine’ page.
– Facebook and Twitter connectivity. Log into our site with your Facebook profile, comment on articles and then continue jabbering with friends in FB Land. You can now friend us or poke us, or tweet about all the poking, to your heart’s content.
– Videos and podcasts. Look out for exclusive multimedia content on our homepage with radio programmes, video interviews and coverage of live events on the way. We’re kicking things off with a debate on transhumanism from our ‘Future Human’ event in London; check out Cory Doctorow, Ian Watson and Gwyneth Jones grizzling over man’s biological destiny.
– Crowdsourced Innovation Map. A rich seam of location-based information on the UK’s most exciting new companies.
– Reader offers for The VOX POP, our exciting new monthly event. The VOX POP launches February 10 at a secret venue in London; further details are imminent.
We hope you enjoy the latest iteration of our website, which is really only the beginning of some of the exciting new features we will be pioneering in coming months, so keep your ear to the floor for further updates.
Meanwhile, do let us know what you think of the way things are headed – either in comments on the blog, on Facebook or Twitter, or via email: editorial[at]badidea.co.uk; if you’d like to receive irregular newsletter updates too, you can submit your email at the top of the page for the full B.I. experience.
Otherwise, keep going boldly readers, and we’ll see you in the digisphere!
