Bitcoinpresscenter.org, the new design is ready and will go live in the next 24hrs. I would love to hear feedback. It looks like this:
...
Looks great man! I signed up and filled out the some of the bio stuff. What do I do now? I can't seem to get back to the bio and edit it. If I understand correctly, you will email me next after review. Then I can edit my info and post it as a pundit?
Thanks for this service.

way to go Andreas.

one thing; you should require the experts to list their pseudonyms here on BitTalk so we can recognize their posts thoughout this Forum.

for instance, i know nothing about George Burke or his thinking based on his formal name.

Great idea. I'm adding a bitcointalk ID and link, as well as reddit ID, as optional fields.

Thanks for the feedback!

I also think that the following people should also be added to the press page:

Erik Voorhees
Yeah, let's add the person responsible for the most violent damage against Bitcoin done to date...

Wait, I'm confused. Didn't Erik use Bitcoin for transactions while some others filled the blockchain with bitdust spam in the form of bible verses?

I used to day trade Bitcoin successfully. Then I took an arrow to the knee.

The debate over who *should* be added or not is over. The bitcoinpresscenter.org is open and inclusive. If you think someone should be added, you can register and add them. No need to ask anyone's permission or pass any litmus test.

That applies to both sides of this silly debate over who is a good for the community and who is not.

The Internet does not need prior-restraint filters because it can do rating, ranking and filtering on output. Surely by 2013 this is obvious?

I do not add contacts myself, I only manage the site.

ANY person can register an account, and then click "Add Contact" to add a contact. It takes a bit of work to put in the information, biography etc, so it is best if it is done by the person themselves or by someone who knows them and can offer the correct biographical information.

In summary, please register on the site and add Mike Hunt yourself, the site is self-service. I cannot research and add the contacts, I don't know them and I'm very busy handling the workload of administering the site and content right now!

Thank you

"Mike Hunt" is the guy who is often directed to the white paging telephone at the airport.

OK.  I'll add him and his cohort "I.P. Freely" when I get a chance.  If someone does not beat me to it Smiley

Thank you

Thank You!

I think it needs a refresh actually. I'd like to see both Jon and Roger there, speaking personally, but the same arguments as before would apply - there are lots of people who can do a good job and it's not worth big arguments over it. I have talking to the developers who objected last time on my TODO list, then of course, Jon/Roger would actually have to want to be there. At least last time Jon didn't seem bothered either way, he spends plenty of time engaged in public speaking already.

Anyway, I'm more interested in refreshing the artwork, videos and making a link to bitcoinpresscenter.org more prominent (maybe some kind of overlay sticker thing so it's not just text but also graphical). Right now it's maybe a bit hard to spot the link. Anton did a great job with that site, it deserves a bigger advert.

Despite all the controversy over how the list of people there is managed, with the benefit of several months of hindsight I think the press center has been a very useful thing. I have no regrets about starting it. The press do use it and we've been able to improve the quality of a lot of Bitcoin stories. The one I'm happiest about was a CNN story that started out as "Bitcoin block chain used for hosting child porn" and we successfully worked with the journalist involved such that when it finally went out, the reference to child porn was buried in the last paragraphs and the overall story was a lot more neutral and balanced. Just last week Jeff and I were teaching a journalist who works for the Financial Times about proof of work and why Bitcoin is designed the way it is. We've come a long way from the bad old 2011 days.

Great job Mike. That really helped mitigate a lot of potentially negative press. A story like that could have really gone viral pretty easily among the major media outlets and caused us all kinds of problems in the Bitcoin community and ecosystem.
