  1. Are you still looking for writers? I just lost a gig blogging for www.socialnk.net (due internal problems). I wrote all the October and November posts. Topic was social media and WOM marketing.

    I am technically savvy - I have a PHD in Human Computer Interaction (on Data visualisation)from Imperial College. I worked at Oracle and Nortel. I am very excited about social networking, data mashups and the new 3G iphone apps. I think that mobile internet is set to change the way we do things over the next year.

    Here is my linked in info.

  2. Hey,
    If you're still looking for writers, I could easily cover it. I've had my fair share of HTML/CSS experience, as well as writing small articles for school and to do with games and technology.
