Hi there
Thanks again for all your contributions and support. We believe the new issue is the best yet – when it comes to content it is getting better and more interesting to read.

We will distribute the newspaper tomorrow morning between 7:15am and 10:30 am at Kings Cross, Holborn and Tottenham Court Road. In the afternoon we will distribute between 4:00 pm and 7:30pm at Holborn, Tottenham Court Road, Goodge Street and Farrington.

New category "Film" introduced...

So as some of you might already noticed we have updated our categories a little, meaning that we took off “science” and added a “film” category. We have been getting quite a lot of reviews about movies lately and therefore we had to build a separate category for film / movies. On the same occasion we took off Science which is a bit sad, but we simply didn’t get any content over the past months… that does not mean that we wont be reintroducing it at some point, but at the moment there’s simply no one contributing content… If you just thought “oh today is a great day to talk about something that has to do with science..” we hope that the categories environment and technology will do for now…
Take it easy, TBP team…

the next steps....

Hello Everyone,

Once again we want to thank all of you for your contributions and the continuous support for the blogpaper. The pre print (check out: http://bit.ly/tTuak ) wouldn’t have been so successful without you guys submitting all your great articles, photos, notes and more. We distributed the first issue on the 25 of September in various areas around London and we are happy to report that we received some excellent feedback (check Huffington Post Article; http://bit.ly/rNyMZ ). The public in general seemed really intrigued and excited at the prospect of a new and free user generated newspaper filling the void of the londonpaper. So all in all it was a very welcoming reception and a great debut for theblogpaper.

Update on Rules...

Hello everybody, We have recently got several people uploading vast amounts of articles within a very short period of time. This forced us to introduce a new “rule” for theblogpaper community. From now on please do not upload more than 1 article per day. We are sorry to introduce such a “rule” to the community, but we believe it will increase the quality of content posted to our site. If you find something that you believe could be spam or have anything to say regarding this matter, please contact us on feedback@theblogpaper.co.uk.

We are not trying to restrict anything at all within theblogpaper community. Less is more, focus on quality rather than quantity.

Take care – TBP Team

the pilot and the ipods

Hey Guys,
Well first of all a big thanks to all of you for submitting all your great articles, photos, notes and more. Also for being so active posting comments, discussions and on rating other peoples' content. It really shows us that the system works and that it's a good'en! We distributed the first issue, as you know, last Friday in various areas around London and we are happy to report that we got some excellent feedback, not only on the content but also on the idea as a whole. The public in general seemed really intrigued and excited at the prospect of a new and free london newspaper that is completely created by you guys, by whoever wants to be heard. So all in all it was a very welcoming reception and a great debut for theblogpaper.

theblogpaper pilot 25/09/09

Hello everyone,

So here is an online version of what we have published on Friday. We distributed about 3500 copies in about 3 hours. This is the pilot version of theblogpaper so surely there is room for improvement. We are shortly going to announce more info on where we go from here, who won the ipods, and what is going on next. We are sorry for the delay, but last week has been quite exhausting and we simply took a couple of days of…:) Just have a quick read and tell us what you think on feedback@theblogpaper.co.uk.
We are going to open a discussion tonight at 8 (BST) on theblogpaper about the pilot, and you are welcome to tell us what you think about it, where you feel we could improve and what you believe is absolute rubbish….take care and thanks for your support so far.

theblogpaper sneak preview!

First of all thanks for the prolonged interest and support- cheers! It’s fair to say that theblogpaper community generated a vast amount of high quality content. As you probably already know we will distribute the first printed edition (pre-print) of theblogpaper on the 25th of September in various locations in London. In the next couple of days we will announce where and at what time we will be distributing the newspapers. The deadline for submitting your content is on the 21st of September at 9 pm. We will choose between one to four of the most discussed and highest rated items from each category depending on the level of interaction and interest.

3 iPod touch giveaways for best content posted for the first edition of theblogpaper.

Good morning everyone,

Its been quite exciting for the last 2 months, theblogpaper community is growing and we are moving into the right direction. People are starting to talk about the community and we’ve been getting loads of positive feedback as well as great ideas / suggestions on how we could develop the concept. All that is left now is to start printing and get theblogpaper out on the streets of London.


So here it is: We will print the first edition ("pre-print") of theblogpaper on the 25th of September which is the last Friday of September. With the first edition we aim to partly introduce theblogpaper to the people of London as well as create a paper which we can use to show advertisers and community members how the printed version is actually going to look like and how we are planning to do it anyway.


So for this event we would like to give away three 8GB iPod touch for “best article”, “best photos” and “best discussion”.
