Researched from public pages — no submission was run · sources read 2026-09-25. Rules change — recheck the platform's own pages before submitting.

Requirements

  • Editorial blog — coverage is a curated post, not a directory listing
  • The old public submission form ('Submitterator' / suggest-a-link) was retired because human spam overwhelmed it
  • Current realistic routes: email the editors at [email protected], or engage on the BBS community (bbs.boingboing.net)
  • Advertising inquiries go to [email protected] — a separate paid channel

Prepare before opening the form

  • A link genuinely interesting to BB's culture/tech/weird-news sensibility — they post 'anomalies, curiosities, and eyebrow-raisers', not launch announcements
  • A short, descriptive note explaining what the link is and why it matters
  • Your email and the URL you want credited

Workflow

  1. Draft a concise tip describing the link and why it fits Boing Boing
  2. Email [email protected] (editorial contact per the current contact page)
  3. Do not send follow-up reminder emails — historic guidance explicitly says not to
  4. Alternatively share in the BBS community where editors participate

Watch for

  • Don't look for a submit form — it was killed by spam; only contact/BBS routes remain
  • Historic guidance said email submissions were never posted when a form existed; the situation has now inverted to email-only — expectations should be modest
  • Product-launch pitches are a poor fit; BB covers culture-worthy things, not standard SaaS launches
  • No paid-placement-for-coverage route exists (ads are display advertising only)

What counts as live

A Boing Boing post linking to or covering the product is published on boingboing.net

Not verified

  • Whether editors still act on help@ tips for product submissions
  • Any current formal submission channel — none was found on the site
