Wired UK 2.0

Well well well, this was quite a surprised – I first saw it on Twitter from Simon Bisson and then found more details on Brand Republic. It’s an interesting move and it’ll be even more interesting to see how they differentiate themselves form the US edition. For the last 2 years that has really been back on track for me after an interlude in the early 2000’s where they had a worrying affair with biotech.

Is there enough tech/geek/Wired style content unique to these shores to make it a winner? I’d like to think so but I’m a little skeptical. However, there is one reason alone I wish them success – since I got hooked on Wired back at university in the late 90’s I’ve always held an ambition to get something published in Wired.

So….if you’re listening guys I’m offering you my services gratis for edition #1 of this Wired UK 2.0 – I have a few topics in mind but here are some suggestions:

 

• Blogging for The Borg
• 10 lessons in 10 years from Microsoft UK
• The Friday Project (you’ll have to ask my friends for me info on this one :))

 

Anyone care to submit ideas for other topics they’d like me to write for Wired?

  Cool Only thing i found a bit odd is that it said it's not due till "first half 2009" That's a long wait is it not? Does it take that long to get setup over here?
