Gabe Rivera of TechMeme is looking to hire someone to tweak and twist the TechMeme algorithms during the course of each day in order to better suit the users (which ever way you want to take it). From a posting on Craigslist, we know the following:
We’re not sure what to call this position. News Technician? News Analyst? Configuring Editor? The role involves interacting with an automated news-picking computer algorithm, configuring it and prodding it to ensure balanced and comprehensive coverage of important news topic areas. It’s the kind of job that possibly has never existed until 2008 but will become increasingly important in the years ahead. It’s partly technical work, but requires no prior software or engineering experience. Training will occur on the job.
Its amazing how many places bloggers scroll to find out news items like this.
