Writers and content creators wanted! - Off-topic

Hi guys, I recent made a website (www.Peccassi.com) and am now looking for some more content creators and article writers. I already have a hand full of people but some more would be great! Peccassi covers World Affairs, Music, Music culture, Motors, Technology and Technology culture. I’m not looking for a News site as such. There’s no gap in the market for that. I’m looking for opinions. Not insulting, not being byist, but giving your opinion about matters in a informative but entertaining and appealing way. However, information still has to be reliable. That’s important. I'm quite serious about this site. I do want it to be a thing. It'd be cool if some people would give me a hand and hopefully we can build something awesome.
Anyone interested? Email me - [email protected]
Thanks guys
Archie.

Do you like writing?

Hey all,
I'm an avid web developer and major time Android fan, I'm looking for a few people that also share my passion for Android - people that have well profound English skills.
I am in the process of developing an Android blog, whilst this may seem unneeded and a tad bit of extra competition to the many other well established blogs, I am sure that my upcoming blog will surpass all other blogs due to the content, context and a secret few features which I disclose at this current time.
All writers, will receive many benefits such as free products, applications as well as money (which is produced based on the amount of interaction with the community and views of your articles).
Sadly, I cannot enclose all the required documents, benefits or features of the upcoming blog but all will be clear once you're part of the team.
PS. I hope this is not against the rules of this forum as I post this in all respect.
Thank you.
UPDATE: Please visit http://www.droid-insider.com/2011/04/13/welcome-home/ for more information.

I must say SMCentral, I am VERY interested. I am a long time fan of Android and just fan technology period (especially in the mobile space). I believe I can provide some great insight into what you are trying to accomplish in your blog, if your willing to give me the opportunity of course.

I like writing poetry. it comes naturally. I've been told I was born before my time. Did and IQ test and apparently I am a Word Smith. I guess that helps.

I've contacted everything whom sent me PMs and posted in this topic.
If you are still interested, please do not hesitate to reply to this topic or send me a PM.
Thank you.

I have no idea what your talking about.

I really want to bump this topic.
We now have a domain for our blog it's http://www.droid-insider.com/
We're still looking for new writers so if your interested PM me your GMail e-mail. This is a paid job. Thank you.

Ill bump this for the op...
BUMP

Wow - it's been a long time since I've looked at this topic. Sorry for bringing this topic back from the dead, it's just because that I felt a bit disrespectful creating a new topic for the same topic.
I would like to let people know that we still have spaces open for any writers, this is a paid job. So, please visit http://www.droid-insider.com/2011/04/13/welcome-home/ for more information.

Who wants to be in podcast/video show?

Attention Mods/XDA staff. We have permission from svetius to post this here. I wasn't sure about doing this either, so I made sure to ask first. We will not directly link to our site so that we do not leech traffic from XDA. We aren't trying to compete with XDA either. We are looking for interns/unpaid staff interested in tech and mobile news, so the job board doesn't fit us.
Alright guys, here's the deal. I'm looking for video/podcast personalities for a website I'm involved in. The site is Install or Not dot com. I'm not linking to it directly so we don't get in trouble with XDA by leeching their traffic.
If you are interested in becoming a personality and can commit to several hours a week in recording audio and/or video, please post a reply here, and we'll talk about it.
There are three unpaid positions available at the moment. We're looking for video personalities, podcast personalities, and media editors. Requirements for the positions are listed below. You may be able to do more than one thing if you want to and are good enough.
All positions must adhere to the following rules:
- You MUST be able to commit at least five hours per week to recording and researching the shows.
- Media editors may need to commit ten or so hours, depending on skill if they are doing shows as well. You need to be available during the week and on weekends.
- You must be able to work within the site guidelines that we set.
- You must be able to be fair and unbias in your discussions. I don't care if you hate Windows Phone, iOS, or Android. You have to be a fair reporter.
To apply for a spot, please prepare a sample of your ability for me to preview.
Podcast sample should feature you talking about two different articles of your choosing for a minimum of ten minutes. Podcasts are meant for spinning out the news and discussing it with others. Try to put your own spin on the news. Make it entertaining. It doesn't need to be funny, it just needs to hold my attention. Feel free to work on submissions as a team if you know other people who want to be involved.
Video samples should follow the same guidelines as the podcast. I'd prefer to see a ten minute video of you talking about a few articles or topics that interest you. Videos are more generally targeted than podcasts. Again, this needs to be interesting and entertaining. it does not need to be funny, it just needs to hold the viewer's attention. Videos are solo pieces.
Editors should either team up with others who are submitting clips, or make a work on their own from the podcast and video guidelines. If you have prior experience in editing, you may submit any prior work as well, so long as it is appropriate. (no porn )

FYI: The positions are unpaid internships.
Site guidelines are set by myself and the owner. They may change from time to time, but you will always know in advance. Generally, just use common sense. It's not MTV or Cinemax; it's a tech news blog.
We don't want excessive profanity in any media on the site. A few bad words throughout the media is fine, but nothing excessive, and nothing horrible. If you can't say it on cable TV, you can't say it on our site either.
Be open to new ideas and other operating systems or OEMs. I don't care how much iOS pisses you off, or how bad Samsung screwed you over on a phone. You will report on the news in a fair and balanced manner. This includes reporting on iOS, Apple, Motorola, RIM, webOS, Symbian, and anything else you can think of that might make you cringe. If you can't wrap your head around being fair to everyone, do not apply.

I too being involved in the site can say, this may look like not such an appealing postition for now, as it's unpaid - but we will surely value your contribution, which can in future but you on our regular team.
Some of the incentives of doing the job are:
Attend tech events
Gadgets to review
Meet big shots of the tech arena
Make a name and get fame for yourself
Adds value to your CV, which employer would not like a person who is popular on the internet ? This might become your full time job, who knows ?
A business card with a fancy position
An identity which can never be erased, yes that's the beauty of the internet - you might be gone and forgotten in the world, but on the internet your name and work will always stay !
And some other perks too, which I'd rather not mention on a public domain.
Besides, I would also like to tell you, you don't need to be a pro at anything to do this job, just be enthusiastic, dedicated and responsible - though you should know tech and shall be able to speak english !
Age, Nationality, Location, Occupation or Gener all of those do not matter as far as you can do the job !
So hit us up if you think you are in for it !
PS: If you think, audio or video is a bit too steep you can even write for us

Bump to the top.

Okay guys. I would like to participate in it. As you previously said that we can even write articles for you, I might be interested

Myriam Joire: Engadget members being banned &critical posts removed 4 personal agenda

Myriam Joire: Engadget members being banned &critical posts removed 4 personal agenda
I wanted to make the community here aware of the fact that longtime members of engadget.com are being banned and having their posts deleted if they are critical of the lack of professionalism exhibited by Myriam Joire aka @tnkgrl, an editor at Engadget.
Recently, she did a video interview of an international tech executive at the Mobile World Congress while representing the Engadget community. He appearance was completely unprofessional and a distraction. Engadget should be a site focused on tech and it's community of tech followers, not one editor's personal agenda.
The appearance of executives, especially in media, reflects on their entire organization and it's community. A semi-professional appearance is an obvious must for interviewing international tech executives. Anything less disrespects those being interviewed and the entire community as a whole.
I feel the that Joire's initial lack of professionalism, followed by the completely unwarranted censorship of longtime members who were critical of her lack of professionalism, warrants Myriam Joire being removed from the Engadget staff.
I hope members here stand up for those being censored and banned at Engadget because of Joire's personal agenda and call for her removal.
Thank you.
Update:
http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/28/the-engadget-interview-nokia-lead-for-imaging-experience-nokia/
The above is what I am referring to.
I, and many others, understandably assumed the interviewer was a man, and thought his appearance was completely unprofessional.
The fact that the interviewer happens to be, in fact, a women, just makes it even worse.

Take a look at that link I added above.
That is completely unacceptable appearance for a man, or a woman, when interviewing an international executive, especially on camera.
If you disagree, you must have an agenda of your own.
Sexuality had NOTHING to do with this.
Barney Frank and Janet Reno have no problem with their professional appearance on camera.
Members go to endadget to read about tech, not to have someone's personal agenda forced down their throats.
Engadget editors and interviewers represent the engadget community, and should do so in a professional manner.

Sorry, what is unacceptable?
Her appearance?
If people were posting comments about her appearance and they were deleted then quite rightly so as they would be off topic and irrelevant.

Everyone has there only rights to how they run their life, so stop being picky about small things....

Who cares what She (or anyone for that matter) looks like. Myriam is a well known tech journalist and really knows Her stuff.

I absolutely agree.
This is about a journalist and interviewer having a professional appearance. This has nothing to do with anyone's personal life.
When you are in the public eye, you have a responsibility to respect your organization and the organizations you deal with by presenting a professional public appearance.
If you re-read my original post, I thought the interviewers appearance was completely inappropriate when I understandably thought she was a man.
This has nothing to do with someone's sexuality.
I've had long hair, a mohawk, tattoos, tanktops, leather, sports jerseys, etc. But, when I am representing my company, I put all of those things aside because I am responsible to present a professional appearance when doing do.
If you can't see the point I am making, you don't understand business and media or your simply have your own agenda .
Regardless, Myriam's appearance in interviews and the censorship of long time members is completely unprofessional and unacceptable and she should be removed from the Engadget staff.

I think you are overreacting to an issue that, at this point, is arguably a non issue. Myriam Joire is a well known tech journalist that has done hundreds of interviews. No one else has an issue, with her appearance. I think you're just mad no one else here agrees with you.

It became an issue when people started getting banned and had their posts removed without cause.
Many people posted with the same issue I had with her lack of professionalism and their posts were removed and they were banned. So, I am not alone.

I guess the personal agenda of Engadget is to not have their interviewers discriminated against by their members. How shocking

Did you even look at that video?
If I represented my company looking like that I would be fired in a heartbeat. I wouldn't even consider disrespecting my employer or my community by representing them like that in the first place.
Trolling? It's not trolling to post that our website and our community should be represented in a professional manner.
Do you see Anderson Cooper on TV with a ridiculous haircut that's only purpose is to cause a distraction? How about with over a dozen piercings in his head and face? Do you see him on TV with a hooded sweatshirt with the sleeves pushed up to specifically show off a collection of randomly placed tattoos? No, you don't.
Don't try to transfer the burden of this issue to the many members that posted they had an issue with her lack of professionalism and were censored and banned. Don't try to transform an issue about professionalism and censorship into trolling or anything else that it isn't.

Temper, temper mate
I have no idea what is it that you are trying to do here and could really care less.
Just relax and stay cool or you might have to post about you being banned from here on another site...capische?
And no smart comebacks from you.....warned, you've been

Your company is neither here nor there, her employers clearly have no issue with it so why the hell should you?

It is trolling to make off topic comments with the sole intention of provoking a negative response. I don't even think you're actually a troll. Trolls do this for fun, I think that you are the one with the "Agenda" here.....
I have no idea who Anderson Cooper is and it's irrelevant....
How does his appearance on TV have any relevance to someone on a website? A website that, last time I checked, was owned by AOL, not you and anyone else who comments there...

This is laughable....
The only one burdened with this issue seems to be you and the only unjust censorship seems to be you attempting to influence the way someone chooses to dress when they are doing their job.
Leave that to their employers and take your butthurt elsewhere.
