Update on Betterhumans X: Changes starting soon

I'm pleased to announce that things have been moving rapidly with the next version of Betterhumans.com. We now have several positions filled and our volunteers are working behind the scenes on planning and development.

I am also pleased to announce the addition of several prominent writers to our list of Featured Bloggers. These include:

  • Michael Anissimov
  • Ralph Cerchione
  • Anne Corwin
  • George Dvorsky
  • James Hughes
  • Peter Passaro
  • Reason
  • Russell Blackford 
  • Brian Wang

Some of our Featured Bloggers have already started posting to the site. Others will begin when we transition to our new format.

And on that note, I wanted to announce some intermediate steps towards the next version of the site. Over the next week, and hopefully the next few days, we will be:

  1. Adding a Featured Blogs section to the site.
  2. Adding a Featured Blogs feed to the home page.
  3. Reorganizing the forums along these lines:
    1. Improve the world
      • Activism
      • Technology
      • Ideology
    2. Improve yourself
      • Mind
      • Body
      • Other
    3. Make connections
      • General discussion
      • Introductions
    4. Improve the site
      • Staff
      • Support

You will notice these and other changes as we move towards the next version of the site, which will involve a total overhaul. As a step towards the new site, we need to change the architecture, which is why we're adding in some new sections and reorganizing the forums.

Please send any feedback to me, Parish or any of our other staff!

Hmm, Anne Corwin, the one with the delicious snout. And Michael, mostly ditto. I remember you mike, you weren't so nice about an interview on my SL activities. :)

Hey Khannea, here too? I would expect as much.

Hi Khannea, it's Anne...I haven't been in Second Life much these days.  Lots has been going on!

I've only met Hughes once in real life (that's a problem when living in a country where you can count transhumanist population on your fingers).

It's going to be nice to read some new columns, and a few of the writers I'm unfamiliar with...which is great!
