Working For Mashable! :)



In case you didn't find out through Twitter, I am now officially a contributing writer for Mashable.com, the world's most popular social networking blog!

It was in the works for a long time and I know a lot of people were asking me about my summer plans and I was talking about "a job," but I didn't say which one.

Well now you know! I hope to do great things with Mashable and help the site grow bigger than ever :) But, of course, my time spent there will ultimately take away from my time spent here on my own blog.

If things slow down a bit it, it's because I am working now! But no worries, I was able to blog in between school and my internship at the Tyra Banks Show, so I don't expect to slow down TOO much. I still have personal issues to address, videos to make, and pictures to post all the time. And, yes, you can still catch me being a dork, live on Ustream every Tuesday night at 9:30pmEST!

Here's what I've written so far for Mashable, just so you can get an idea of what I am doing:

"Orgoo Sticks Together IM, E-mail, SMS, and Video Chatting [Invites]"
"RestyleMe Answers the Question: 'How Do I Look?'"
"Virgin Radio Turns Up the Volume with coComment"
"Zecter Offers 'No E-mail Regrets' [Invites]"
"AudioJungle Swings Open Music Marketplace"

Each post takes about 2 or 3 hours to spew out and I wrote four posts on my first day. (Now you get where my time is going? Haha.) But I have a lot of fun doing it because I am learning the ropes of how to be a PRO blogger and play with the big boys, WHILE testing out new sites that many times are in private beta!
