Today new data about unemployment in US: further 467k people in the middle of the street. 6.5M jobs lost since the crisis began. Only economic shocks generate political changes. Let's take this in mind when talking of italian politics - paolo landi

Kol, I would honestly love to help you, but you're looking for a job in the UK and that's not exactly my neck of the woods. But, I'll keep my ears and eyes open for you. Who knows? Gaming right? What's the unemployment rate in England? - Michael Fidler

Meeeee. My graduation day is in 2 weeks. - Charlotte M

Oh, that would be me too - get really hungry some days. - Chris Loft

Probably soon! - ‘-.-’ Tutivillus Grift

no creative jobs, but few SW positions might be still open... and no UK, sorry http://silpol.blogspot.com/2009... - A.T.

Amani, I'm about 1-2 hours away from London. I want to move to SW of London at some point though. Kent is too far away from town. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes

Mike, I'm a data-monkey, so Excel/reporting/Business Objects/databasing, etc. I've done some tech support, website maintenance and testing in the past and don't mind a bit of admin. I've been a project co-ordinator on several telecoms projects too. That's about my level. - Kol Tregaskes

yupp, add me to the list. - Gtp19

add one more .... *sigh* so here's where all the unemployed are :)) - Bhowmik Shah

Looks like you had good news since that comment, Sean! Congrats again. :-) - Kol Tregaskes

Add me too! - DAL

Looking for a job too, but going back to college in September, back on Danish Student Aid (Government paid studying) - Rasmus Lauridsen

actually i'm going back to college as well .. how many here are taking up studying again while the recession is around? - Bhowmik Shah

me - Amber, Random Time Lord

There is quite a lot of us! :-( - Kol Tregaskes

Network admin, video editor, writer and presenter here still in the search for a job (or payment for my podcast)... That and I'm going slightly insane waiting to find out if I have the rocketboom gig or not >.< - alphaxion

Breaking news : 74% of the people engaging in FFFriendship relations are unemployed. They all gather around a graphical totem stating "I NEED A JOB". No official from the US, UK, France or any other country made any comment about this phenomenom. - Zackatoustra

Add Me to the ranks. - Brent - Loving Life

been doing freelance work, but would really enjoy a little more stability ;) - Mike Chelen

alphaxion: tried generating revenue through advertising? - Mike Chelen

No point when I'm only getting an average of about 20 to 50 views per episode. Thanks for the likes BTW :) - alphaxion

part of the advantage is to become familiar with the tools & methods. and if every one of those viewers clicked an ad (yeah right) that could be $10 an ep :) - Mike Chelen

I'm more interested in sponsors than rolling ads, since I don't like how intrusive they are. I can control how I advertise sponsors, at the least. The ideal solution is a distribution deal so I don't have to assail people with advertising in the show (just around it on their site). Tho getting more viewers is my primary concern above earning money from it. - alphaxion

alphaxion: finding that balance is one of the most important aspects & challenges, maybe web page ads would be a good compromise? to get more viewers, how about making a friendfeed group for the show :) - Mike Chelen

I do have a room where the feed from the site is pulled into, along with many other feeds http://friendfeed.com/electro... I have one with the name of the show, but I plan to use it for whenever I increase my writing team (stories etc would get posted into there for commentary). The site they're on (www.verticalslice.tv) gets even less traffic. Besides, I'm loath to use ads like those. I'm great at stifling myself ;) - alphaxion

Last night a guy came to my door asking to wash my car for cash. While he worked I found out that he was a mid level manager at a large company last year. Now he can't even get a cashier job at Target, so he's going door to door washing folks' cars. After I paid him, I went in and put on some Woody Guthrie. - Mark Traphagen from iPhone

If any of you who are looking for work would like to start up your own internet marketing business then please let me know. Being tech savvy as you all clearly are being here on Friendfeed why not use this to your advantage and become a licensee and help others (and make good money).

While on the doll I'm supposed to apply for 2 jobs per week min. I've just written up my last 2 weeks worth of job hunting and have applied to over 20 jobs! They just look at my slip every fortnight and say 'well you've been busy'! LOL. 3 month review in a couple of weeks, I think I've hit their min. requirement and then some. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes

Actually, though I find it a chore to write up every time, it's quite useful. I'm now over 1 job application a day! I really like the look of this job though: http://ff.im/4KNSG - Kol Tregaskes

alphaxion: how about making a dedicated room for the verticalslice videos? more writing would be great, it would still be nice to have all the videos in one place and hear what people thought :) - Mike Chelen from IM

http://friendfeed.com/vertica... has always been there. It's just I don't have the pulling power to get people into there. - alphaxion

ah well ya pulled one :) - Mike Chelen from IM
