Dear Readers:
2009 was sort of a rough time for folks in the interactive TV business, particularly with the expansion and contraction of the various companies that make their living by providing iTV technology, applications and
support. And recent news suggests it's not getting any better.
So we're going to try something different: If you're Looking for a Gig, whether full-time or part-time, permanent or temporary, salaried or contract, or just want to see what's out there, send me a BRIEF capabilities description. Make it a approximately a double-tweet (280 characters). And give me a pseudonym that I can publish--that way I can keep your identity private.
We'll publish these Looking for a Gig double-tweets as we get them. And if somebody is interested, they can email me directly and I'll hook you up. How's that for service!
So send your Looking for a Gig double-tweets, with your pseudonym, to rickhowe@aol.com
Here are a couple of double-tweets, just to get us started:
Sr techie manager with software dev, product mgmt, professional services and biz dev experience in ITV apps and systems looking for short or long term engagements. Need help with your product roadmap, ITV strategy or development & deployment processes? Contact Grumpy c/o rickhowe@aol.com
