HotWired was the first commercial web magazine, launched on October 27, 1994. Although it was part of Wired Ventures, HotWired was a separate entity from Wired, the print magazine, and had original content. The site launched shortly before the advent of other new media sites such as PathFinder (Time magazine's commercial web content offering) and Salon.com (founded by reporters at the San Francisco Examiner). Wired Ventures' online division was acquired by Lycos, Inc. in 1999 at the same time as Condé Nast assumed ownership of Wired Magazine. This essentially marked the end of HotWired's presence on the web as Lycos turned the site into a portal/archive meant to drive traffic to other Lycos holdings on the web. In 2006, the domain was sold to a pay-per-click advertising hub marking the definitive end of Hotwired as an online magazine. A number of projects and sites were published under the HotWired banner: Curated collection of animated short films presented in Flash, Shockwave, and QuickTime formats.
