* What is HotWired?

HotWired is the premier site for original content on the Web. We feel
that the Net and the Web do not just constitute a refinement of old
models of publishing and broadcast media, but a vital new medium,
combining text, sound, image, and interactivity.

The HotWired membership is linked in a planetwide conversation, a model
of cross-cultural discourse. HotWired is committed to increasing the
excellence of design, quality of content, and interactivity of this
expressive new medium.

* Does HotWired cost anything?

No. HotWired is free.

You do need a TCP/IP connection to the Internet to visit HotWired. To
help you access our site, we offer a free information packet called
"Getting Wired." Send email to info-rama@hotwired.com, with the words
"send getting.wired" in the body of the message.

You also need a compatible Web browser. Many browsers are downloadable
at no cost from the Net. Please consult our page of recommended browsers
at:

     http://www.hotwired.com/browsers.html

* Why should I become a HotWired member?

Membership is free, simple, and private.

By becoming a registered member, you'll be able to customize our site to
suit your preferences, chat with online guests and other members in Club
Wired, join discussions in Threads, and use our customized search tools.

Membership information also allows us to tell our sponsors how many
people have seen their banners. This allows us to make HotWired
available to you free of charge.

* What are the channels of HotWired about?

ADRENALINE is for surfers, mountain bikers, climbers, disc throwers,
rafters, and other athletes who take the world as their playing field.
Adrenaline's interactive database - Core - keeps you up-to-the-minute on
trail, river, and surf conditions, and sports news.

SIGNAL takes the pulse of the digital revolution, giving you news about
where to go and what to see on the Net. Signal features Ned Brainard's
hype-proof rundown of high-tech gossip; David Kline's updates on
developments in wired business and economics; Brock N. Meeks's incisive
communiques from inside Washington; and more.

WORLD BEAT is travel coverage for the next millennium. With first-person
reports from the road, digital dispatches, and interactive features,
HotWired tracks significant developments shaping local cultures
worldwide. Our Rough Guide database is the most in-depth and up-to-date
traveler's resource online.

PIAZZA is the interactive crossroads of the global village. In Club
Wired, HotWired members gather to interact with cutting-edge culture
makers. Threads is HotWired's forum for online discussions.

RENAISSANCE highlights explosive new dimensions in film, music, writing,
dance, visual arts, and new media - the people pushing cultural forms
into unmapped territory on and off-line. WIRED is the Web home of WIRED
Magazine, a fully searchable archive of back issues - an unequalled
resource of digital-age insight.

COCKTAIL is the speakeasy of the Web, an uninhibited celebration of the
cocktail culture. HotWired's resident Alchemist, Paul Harrington, offers
barside tips; the Drink of the Week serves up a double shot of recipes
and lore; and our Virtual Blender database helps you "name your poison."

* What is the connection between WIRED magazine and HotWired?

Wired Ventures LLC, the parent company of WIRED magazine, is one of the
owners of HotWired, but HotWired is financially and editorially
independent. The content on HotWired is not available in WIRED magazine.
There is, however, a searchable archive of WIRED back issues available
on HotWired.
