I was looking at information on creative writing courses, then thought I'd look at what kind of organisations might seek to employ someone with such a qualification.

Well, you could have knocked me over. My jaw dropped at what I read. What a boost to all who spend 24/7 on this site and others, cos one job had as a special requirement...

"An excellent knowledge of the online world, in particular social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter and Foursquare."

Heck, I must be so behind the times...What on earth is 'Foursquare'???dunno

Oh, and this is a position advertised by a local company.

Imagine that, someone will be PAID to spend time on these sites!!! drinking rolling on the floor laughing

cheering cheers

Hi sugga, I don't know that it's merely passing us by. I rather see it as technology as whizzing past us!laugh

About your FB account, go into your account settings and change them quick smart, so that only 'friends' can see your information.
Stay safe. hug

Foursquare is a location-based social networking website, available on web and most smartphones. Kind of different from Facbook as you need to 'check in' in some physical locations and earn some type of badges. Not that popular so far but catching on...

I can see how a Yank would take that the wrong way rolling on the floor laughing

In case you didn't know Rilly old chap, 'Tickle me pink' is saying 'That joke tickled me pink' or 'I was tickled pink with that present'.

It has nowt to do with the insides of a females wotsit!

That's been an oft-used term here in Aussie Land...a very English term, but then we do have the obvious connections.

Funny you should say that, DB. I am on here now, collecting some of my posts as part of sample writing for a course I'm applying as we speak. Deadline is tomorrow, so it's a mad scramble. Goodness knows what the course controller will think when he reads them!uh oh
