I keep expecting to see young people crossed legged in the street, with a laptop instead of a guitar, cap full of coins on the ground and a piece of cardboard that says “Will Blog for Broadband, must have Facebook Access“. Not sure why I mentioned that. Heh.
If they are mean to you, let me know and we’ll be mean right back. But they seemed perfectly nice… for PR people… *evil chuckle*

This is mixed news. On the one hand, PR companies kind of get it.
On the other, they are going to use social media for their nefarious ends. And developing in-house capacity means freelancers are out of the looop. Boo hoo!
That’s a crap job anyway. It’s basically an entry level producer’s role but these guys are wanting to pay a clerk’s salary.
Anyway, are you interested in this?
@anonymous nah a producer has to have project management and budget skills. I think this really is a digital assistant role.
@simon the trouble with being nefarious these days, is that it’s too easy to get caught and named/shamed on a blog. *looks at her blog* Heh. They have to behave … or else!
@laurel I wish that blogs were better at exposing PR. I don’t see much of it going on
@laurel true nefarious gets outted quickly in this transparent world. And as the description says “ethical involvement”: no blackhatting or disguising who we are for us.
… and if that wasn’t enough there’s also your evil chuckle over our shoulder *grins*
@simon We’ll even hire ex-journos! *waves*
