Update on Crowdsourcing the Emerging Media Job Description

Thank you.

Thank you for participating, commenting, re-tweeting, blogging about and contributing your thoughts to the discussion regarding the Emerging Media job description crowdsourcing effort so far. We’re only a couple of days into it and the response has been phenomenal. So again, thank you.

Although we’re asking for ideas related to our job description, we’re discovering that the issue of how to identify talent in this space may be a sore point for other companies as well. Hopefully at the end of the day the discussion resulting from this will also contribute to the larger discussion beyond our Emerging Media role.

We’ve gotten some great ideas submitted so far to the IdeaX site. There’s been a couple bumps in the road however.

The IdeaX team is seeing more ideas on the back end that aren’t getting published to the public site. If you’ve submitted your idea and don’t see it on the site yet please follow the advice given on the IdeaX blog post from yesterday

New to IdeaX? Just signed up? We’ve been getting some feedback that some new user’s ideas and comments haven’t been showing up on the site.

TIP: If you’ve completed the sign up and agreed to the site terms, then check your in-box for an activation e-mail from us. You’ll need to follow the link in the e-mail to activate your account before your ideas or comments will post. If the e-mail doesn’t appear in your in-box, check your junk mail.

    Even though it was removed, thank you for posting the ‘one type of gizmodo blogger’ post. It was about time someone put that stupid blog in its place.
