First he kisses Doctor Who, and then former Doctor Who/Torchwood showrunner Russell T. Davies (who was reportedly seen running around drunk with balloons on his head earlier in the weekend). If you ever wondered what the sound of a million squees would be like, just listen to the audience reaction here.

If Hubertus Bigend wanted to get into "science fiction" (whatever that means in 2008) it might look a lot like io9.
For those who have not yet read Gibson's superlative Pattern Recognition and Spook Country, Bigend is a viral marketing fiend who founds a Wired-esque magazine called Node. We are pleased to be considered the creation of a fictional character who founds a fictional magazine in the near future (or perhaps, as many commenters noted below, in the near past).
