HotWired's Online Reader Survey

HotWired's Online Reader Survey

We need your help!

HotWired is in the process of establishing a new vision for what publications will be like in the wake of the oncoming communication and information explosion. We are positioning HotWired to be the focal point for new experiences and sources of information that will be unique to the online medium.

In order to establish ourselves and to convince others (critics and sponsors alike) of the potential of HotWired, we need to know who will be the patrons of our new publication. Your help will directly contribute to our survival and and ultimate prosperity. We are that rarity, an independent media start-up and your contribution will mean alot to us and to our mission.

Your responses will be strictly confidential and we will neither trade, give or sell them. To further convince you to help us out, we will be selecting winners at random from those that submit survey's. Prizes include 25 Wired T-Shirts and the grand prize, an NEC CD ROM drive. Thank you.

Please fill out the information below. Once you have completed it, single-click on the Submit button. Please submit entries before x.xx.94, to be considered for the drawing.
