Okay, it’s official… Here’s my exciting news: I’ve recently been hired as one of the bloggers over at Download Squad, one of the newest blogs in the Weblogs Inc. network! Weblogs Inc. is most well-known for Engadget, who recently did an exclusive interview with Bill Gates, as well as Joystiq, The Office Weblog, Blog Maverick (Mark Cuban’s blog), and a raft of others. Really; they seemingly have a blog for everything.
I couldn’t be more excited to have been chosen as part of the crew at Download Squad. For those of you who know me, you know that this stuff is right down my alley. Unfortunately, so far I’ve only been able to make a couple of posts, as there are other more important things going on in my life right now. But as time goes on and things settle down, I’ll become a regular contributor.
It’s really exciting to be taking part in the new frontier of citizen journalism (to borrow a phrase from fellow Weblogs Inc. blogger Marc Orchant). There are not very many people getting paid to blog, so this new gig is truly an honour.
