Want to write for Download Squad?
Download Squad is looking
for some new blood to add to our team. If you have a passion for software and web services, enjoy installing new apps

spelling, you might be what we're looking for.
To apply, send an e-mail with "DLSQ" and your full
name in the subject line to jordan.running@weblogsinc.com containing
all of the following:
-
Your areas of interest and expertise. Be specific!

Your blogging experience and blog URL(s). If you don't have blogging experience, be prepared to demonstrate significant writing ability and background.
-
A bit about yourself, why you think you'd make the best addition to our team, and how much time, energy, and dedication you're willing to contribute to Download Squad.
-
And last, but far from least, three original writing samples. We want to see what you'd write your first day on the job. Content and length is up to you, but it'd be smart to take your cues from what you've seen on Download Squad, and variety in your submissions is desirable. We like writers who are smart, concise, opinionated-but-open-minded, and independent. Surprise and impress us.
Blogging
for Download Squad is a paid position. Incomplete applications will not be considered, and due to the potential volume

So... will there be any remuneration involved in this or will we be doing this simply (and only) because we have "a passion for software and web services, enjoy installing new apps on a daily basis, go to great lengths to get the most out of your computing experience, and have impeccable grammar and spelling"?
Because to be honest, your love gives me such a thrill, but it ain't enough to pay my bills... :)

I visit digg.com alot, and I'm pretty good at copy-pasting. Does that qualify me?
Jordan RunningMar 15th 2006 1:40PM
Yes, dcsbeemer, all of our bloggers are paid.
dcsbeemerMar 15th 2006 2:18PM
Excellent! In that case, consider me as an applicant. Just one more thing, can someone from outside the US or UK apply?

You guys really have to start posting more often, especially during the weekends.
Your blog has been lagging behind Techcrunch, Engadget, and other non-software blogs that somehow managed to report software news before you.
Please get better!

Good question, dcsbeemer. The answer is yes.

I spent a lot of my time at work, looking for new software and applications to test. I check your website, lifehacker, digg, and others all the time. Unfortunately my writing skills suck.

I've sent you an email with my submissions, and I look forward to your response.
