We<br \/>\n&gt; launched at Pop!Tech in 2008, were named by Business Week in December<br \/>\n&gt; as the &#8220;Best Idea of 2008&#8221;, and were just featured  in Wired<br \/>\n&gt; magazine&#8217;s playlist (January 2009) &#8212; so this is a perfect opportunity<br \/>\n&gt; for somebody who is passionate about helping define the energy debate<br \/>\n&gt; in 2009. You will immediately be able to reach out to our thousands of<br \/>\n&gt; users, blog readers, and twitter followers. Professional writing<br \/>\n&gt; experience isn&#8217;t necessary, and all we care about is that you can<br \/>\n&gt; write about these topics with wit, concision,and (some) authority.<br \/>\n&gt;<br \/>\n&gt; Here&#8217;s what you need to send to apply:<br \/>\n&gt;<br \/>\n&gt; * One sample post written in the style you think is appropriate. We&#8217;re<br \/>\n&gt; looking for somebody that will help us transform our current blog<br \/>\n&gt; (blog.wattzon.com) into one that is a more general and topical content<br \/>\n&gt; source (and less of the &#8220;development blog&#8221; it is now) &#8212; so don&#8217;t feel<br \/>\n&gt; limited by the previous posts.  Make this sample post germane to this<br \/>\n&gt; broader picture.  We won&#8217;t use it on the site &#8212; it is just to help us<br \/>\n&gt; get a sense of your writing.<br \/>\n&gt;<br \/>\n&gt; * A few words about yourself.<br \/>\n&gt;<br \/>\n&gt; * Why are you interested in this position?<br \/>\n&gt;<br \/>\n&gt; * Your contact info.<br \/>\n&gt;<br \/>\n&gt; * How many posts a week can you commit to?  (Please be realistic!)<br \/>\n&gt;<br \/>\n&gt; This position, at the beginning, is an unpaid internship position, but<br \/>\n&gt; is a great way to launch yourself into the blogosphere and set a name<br \/>\n&gt; for yourself.  As things<br \/>\n&gt; progress, this will, of course, be re-evaluated.
