[extropy-chat] New Version of Betterhumans Launched

[George Dvorsky]

Late last light we launched a significant upgrade to Betterhumans. It's the 
7th incarnation of the site and it's inarguably never looked better. We also 
issued a press release to announce the re-launch:

    New Betterhumans Website an Info Seeker's Delight

    Leading science and technology Webzine Betterhumans.com gets cleaner 
interface, faster response times and new features to facilitate information 
foraging

    Finding information on issues and developments in advancing science and 
technology just got easier.

    Today's rapid pace of scientific and technological advancement makes it 
difficult to keep track of developments as they happen. With a mandate of 
connecting people to the future, editorial production company Betterhumans 
provides news, features and resources that help people make sense of 
accelerating change.

    Now Betterhumans is pleased to announce a new version of its 
Betterhumans.com Website that's designed to make it even easier to access 
its leading science, technology and health-related content.

    "If there's one thing that Internet users have shown time and again it's 
a craving for functionality, usability and the ability to easily locate 
information of interest," says Simon Smith, Editor-in-chief of Betterhumans. 
"The new Betterhumans.com has been designed to help people find the 
information they seek, as well as get that information faster."

    Previous visitors to Betterhumans will immediately notice that the site 
is cleaner and more user-friendly, featuring drop-down menus to ease 
navigation. Behind the scenes, the site makes better use of caching and has 
been optimized in other ways to improve response times.

    Information foragers will be happy about new topic-finder functionality 
that allows users to browse an index of all topics Betterhumans covers and 
to use this to access all editorial—from news items to columns—on a given 
topic. Each content item now also displays its topics, enabling users to 
link through from them to an index of related content. And new search 
functionality allows users to search for specific content, such as events 
and directory items.

    The new version of Betterhumans.com marks the beginning of several 
Betterhumans initiatives planned for the second and third quarter of 2004 as 
the company seeks to expand its offering and increase its reach.

    "The launch of the revised Website is an important milestone for us," 
says George Dvorsky, Deputy Editor of Betterhumans. "It's an integral step 
forward as we continue to improve Betterhumans at all levels."
