Watching NCIS re-runs and I finally decided to google Cote de Pablo. I tell Mom, "She's from Chile!" and some other bits from Cote's IMDB profile. Mom stares at me amazed. "You found all that on the computer?!?" - http://www.imdb.com/media...
Dear Ford Motor Company - how can someone have 7+ years experience in "Social and Emerging Media". Youtube (one of the sites mentioned) is only 4 years old.
My dialup BBS experience in 7th grade was emerging and social... and there were door games which means pretty pictures (that's media!). That should give me... *ponder* 27 years experience :D
- Michael W. May
Also, Playboy is looking for a "Social Media/Audience Development Manager" Only need 5 to 7 years experience for that one.

I've been on usenet since 1994... well, to be honest, I haven't used it in probably 3-4 years now.
- Andrew C
I used Compact Disks when they first came out, AND I talked to my friends about them. That gives me 24 years in social and emerging media. :-)

I'm waiting for someone looking for experience in social media failure. After all, I am one of only a handful of people who launched blogging products in the first couple years of the decade who never made a dime. :D
- Roger Benningfield
Yolanda, I saw a job listing with exactly this kind of problem earlier today. Puts me off of the company altogether since it makes them look out of touch...
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
I've been online since 1992, so it's possible to have loads of experience in emerging media.
- cecily
Exactly, Tina. If you are going to list specific websites that you want a person to have experience with, at least make the years of experience match up.

I assume they want 7 years of traditional media experience with an ever-increasing share devoted to online and social stuff. Think about it - most of us FFers are small-scale social media whizzes but we're not actually trained or qualified as marketers or community managers or communications directors, are we?
- Daniel J. Pritchett
I figured as much. I just think it is funny that they are asking someone to have a minimum of 7 years experience with Youtube, Facebook, and Digg. If I read correctly, none of them were around in 2002.

Maybe you could claim that time spent on multiple social sites is like concurrent prison sentences?
- Greg GuitarBuster
eventhough I suspected with that meant, Rochelle. I had to google anyway to be sure. :)

anway, today I discovered that oatmeal isn't that great without extra sugar. Today's oatmeal had some raisins, granola, and one packet of equal. Tomorrow's oatmeal will require a different approach.

A great sub for white paste when you are out of glue.
- John D Reasor
healthy, can be made several yummy ways, and doesn't give me stomach cramps when I'm running
- Shevonne
Right there with you, Yolanda: have to have sweet in my oatmeal. Also, have to have some salt (typically butter). Today's batch was not quite enough butter and I find it a touch bland...
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
a pinch of salt, butter, brown sugar or maple syrup, craisins, optional toasted pecans. NOMNOMNOMNOM

Yummmmmmm. I just add peanut butter. Sometimes a little agave nectar.

something I eat a couple of times a week for breakfast. I like the Irish Steel Cut Oatmeal in preference to the regular Quaker style rolled oatmeal. I never ever buy the quick oats, and that has had a good percentage of the fiber, and the cholesterol lowering benefits removed by the process.

I'm reading that LED TVs have much lower power consumption than the standard LCD TV. Are there any serious drawbacks to having the LED over a standard LCD?
Black Canary, one of my favorites. The only thing I don't like about her is they pair her up with Green Arrow and she is so out of his league
- RAPatton
AFRICAN AMERICAN Canary - insensitive dolts
- Matthew DeVries
This picture would be so much better with the fishnets. Just sayin'
- ha3rvey (doink doink)
Amen to that, Silent Three. Her costume is the best.
- RAPatton
I'm reading the wikipedia entry on black canary right now. It would be cool to be able to follow her storyline all in one book. Or any of these ladies, for that matter.

If she interests you, you want to get Gail Simone's run on Birds of Prey. It was really good and followed Black Canary, Huntress and Oracle (The Barbara Gordon Batgirl, why is wheel chair bound due to a bullet to the spine by the Joker.)
- RAPatton
Yeah, they got it. Question II. She used to be a cop in Gotham, but during 52 became the second question. She used to be the lover of the current Batwoman, but they aren't anymore. She was a great character in 52 and in Gotham Central, but less interesting in the small feature in the back of Detective Comics (the batwoman book)
- RAPatton
She was badass in 52. Also one of the better storylines in 52 as well.
- Carlos Ayala
you guys need to run a comic book library so I can read all these things. :D I wouldn't even know where to start.
- Yolanda
from IM
They have most everything at your local library, I bet. If you just describe what you are interested in, I am sure several of will suggest quality titles.
