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 help@boingboing.net, or engage on the BBS community (bbs.boingboing.net)
Advertising inquiries go to inquiries@boingboing.net — 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

Draft a concise tip describing the link and why it fits Boing Boing
Email help@boingboing.net (editorial contact per the current contact page)
Do not send follow-up reminder emails — historic guidance explicitly says not to
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
