A Detroit Lions football blog I read with several authors is looking for writers (http://www.prideofdetroit.com/2012/7/30/3200979/pride-of-detroit-writers). If you're interested, you can email your username, ideas for posts and links to examples of your writing on the comments. This is interesting to me on several levels.
What better way to look for people to write for your blog than to ask your readers! They will apply themselves, tell their friends, and do some of the searching for you. Blogs especially tend to have niche readers, so anyone who might be interested in writing for the blog would be interested in reading the blog.
I see more and more companies using web 2.0 to post their openings. I see them using blogs, twitter, message boards and more. This isn't the way of the future. It's the way of the now.
If you look closely at the requirements, you'll see that the website is getting a little marketing research in the form of many people submitting their "ideas for posts." It can be challenging as an author of a blog to find new ideas for posts. This is a great way to ask your readers to think in depth about what they want to see on the site.
It is interesting to think of a collection of posts as someone's resume. It is good because it illustrates the volume and quality of thier work prior. Also, the reviewers of the information would be able to see the community's response to the posts.
