I’m Not Actually a Geek highlights a story today about a budding Cisco employee who may well have tweeted themselves out of a job before it had even started.
Even pre-twitter, the web had been around long enough – and search pervasive enough – any prospective employee should know that their entire online body of work is likely available, indexed, and searchable for potential employers to review.
How can you not expect this to happen?
Since I’m personally a heavy user of the Apple iPhone 3G, it’s only fitting that we provide a mobile/iphone interface for Telegraphik.
iPhone and other mobile viewers should automatically get the mobile interface when you access Telegraphik on your mobile device.

The latest casualty in the newspaper wars has given up the ghost – the Seattle Post-Intelligencer is moving to a solely digital format after Tuesday’s newspaper – which will be its last.
The New York Times writes:
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer will produce its last printed edition on Tuesday and become an Internet-only news source, the Hearst Corporation said on Monday, making it by far the largest American newspaper to take that leap.But The P-I, as it is called, will resemble a local Huffington Post more than a traditional newspaper, with a news staff of about 20 people rather than the 165 it had, and a site with mostly commentary, advice and links to other news sites, along with some original reporting.
I don’t believe that this is will be the last of the great American newspapers that will fold in the coming weeks and months. The Boston Globe and even the New York Times are in some trouble – along with our local newspaper here in Minneapolis, The Star Tribune.
The internet has radically changed how we look at journalism – primarily driven by bloggers, podcasters, and other forms of new media. We’re at the vanguard of a completely different age of journalism here — the newspapers, hidebound by their processes, their unions, and their large corporate structures, have simply been unable to compete against a medium that is far more nimble than they are.
And it’s a shame – there are many great journalists out there that could (and should) be able to compete in this new world… here’s hoping that they can. And if any of them want to come and write here at Telegraphik, let’s talk.
Cameron Reilly’s podcasting network “The Podcast Network” appears to be having a wee bit of a financial problem according to this post:
I’ve just been hit with a large hosting bill for TPN’s servers and bandwidth and unfortunately I don’t have the funds to cover it this month. So I have set up a special fund raising exercise via ChipIn which will run for this week. Out of TPN’s hundreds of thousands of listeners, I’m hoping a few hundred will be able to chip in $10 to help us stay on the air.
Cam also made this note on Twitter:
@TRON_Lord yeah the getting started site is borked. Hold off. I’m not even sure TPN will be around next week.
Podcasts are certainly not cheap to stream or provide download bandwidth for – even in the best of times.

It was November 2006, when we sold off The Blog Herald along with many of our other blogging properties. We did it primarily to focus on our consulting and services work — but also because it was the right time to recapture our investment in those properties.
Since then, we’ve formed a new company – Bryghtpath LLC and done a ton of consulting work in Boston and the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul (the two cities where our primarily partners are located). Our work has been focused on bringing the Web 2.0 tools and culture to the inside of large corporations — and we’re going to continue to focus on that work.
In addition, we’ve picked up and grown some great niche sites – like Shadowpriest.com and Light Natured – both sites for players of the huge online game World of Warcraft. Most of these sites have been prudent growth investments for us.
Even though I’ve done some blogging and podcasting over at The Blog Herald for Splashpress Media, as I’ve been on vacation this week, I realize that I need to do more writing — so I’m going to make an attempt to bring back this blog – which we acquired from David Krug in 2006 — and use it as a base for my writing moving forward.
More to come later today!
I posted a short video over at The Blog Herald showing my morning blogging routine…. sorta…
Enjoy!
