Yesterday we told you you about Trendrr’s internships, and while we were researching them, we stumbled upon the fact that their parent company, Wiredset, also offers internships. We considered cramming Wiredset and Trendrr’s internships into one post, but we thought that Wiredset looked cool enough to merit its own post. Wiredset is a digital marketing agency, which means that they offer services in four areas - online marketing, web production, measurement and metrics, and strategic consulting. Considering the fact that Wiredset’s client list includes Apple, ESPN, Comedy Central, MTV, and Microsoft, they must be pretty good at what they do. I can vouch that they certainly have their finger on the pulse of the web. Wiredset’s CEO Mark Ghuneim e-mailed me 7 minutes (seriously) after I posted about Trendrr to thank me for the post. That’s awesome. Continue reading about Wiredset…
Happy Election Day! I’m not going to urge you to vote like most other people will, because yesterday I learned that “It’s more likely that you will be killed driving to the polling booth than it is that your vote will change the outcome.” That’d be a lot to have on my conscience, so I’m going to say vote at your own risk. If you’re upset that I’m making a mockery of the political system, then today’s company isn’t for you. That’s because we’re talking about The Onion and their internships. I can’t think of a more fitting company for election day (except for maybe Diebold, but they’re not nearly as much fun) than The Onion because politics and satire go hand in hand. Without politics satire is hamstrung, and without satire politics is utterly painful. The Onion is not only “America’s finest news source,” but also “the funniest publication in the US” according to the New Yorker. Continue reading about The Onion…
When I was in elementary school, we had the upper playground and the lower playground. We usually ended up playing on the upper playground, but I think that I remember that the lower playground was a lot more fun, even if it was intended for the younger kids at the school. I guess that doesn’t bode well for today’s company, since in my book Upper Playground is inferior, but we’ll give them a shot anyway. If you’re like me, and had never heard of Upper Playground until today, here’s what you need to know. Upper Playground is a “premier independent clothing brand. They have stores across the country (ok, across the West Coast and in NYC). They also have an online store. I really have no idea how to describe their style, so you’ll have to check it out for yourself. Continue reading about Upper Playground…
It’s hard for me to imagine growing up without parents. The closest that I ever came to being orphaned was when my mom lost me in Toys ‘R Us for no more than ten minutes. I was about six years old, and when I realized that I couldn’t find my mother, I lost all interest in the thousands of toys surrounding me and frantically ran from aisle to aisle looking for her. It’s amazing how terrifying it can be for a young child to be separated from his or her parents for a short time, which makes it hard to fathom the emotional distress that orphans must go through. Jim Luce could see this distress in the eyes of one boy in an Indonesian orphanage, so he adopted him. His adoption experience gave him the idea to start a surrogate foster care system in developing nations based on the concept of small homes with only four children and a house parent at each dwelling. He wanted to raise orphaned children from toddlers to adulthood the way he was raising his adopted son, so he did it and named his non-profit organization Orphans International. Jim Luce describes the process in a wonderful essay that he wrote for the New York Times. Continue reading about Orphans International…
Do you have an iPhone yet? Maybe that’s an obnoxious question, but it’s getting less and less obnoxious as software developers continue to push out amazing applications. The iPhone is adding serious productivity tools in addition to the obvious entertainment capabilities in “the best iPod that Apple has ever made.” We may even be reaching the point where you can call an iPhone purchase a capital investment without cracking a smile. Apple is largely responsible for the iPhone’s success to this point, but it’s the 3rd party software developers who are taking the iPhone’s popularity to the next level. Pinch Media is a company that helps these iPhone developers grow their businesses. They’re doing so through analytics and advertising software that they’ve created for iPhone developers, but Pinch Media is also sitting down with developers and helping them determine when advertising makes sense, and when it doesn’t. Pinch Media’s business is all about helping other people make the most out of what they do best - the development of great iPhone applications. Continue reading about Pinch Media…
Poets & Writers is an organization for creative writers, by creative writers, and it provides a wealth of information and resources that not only help individual creative writers, but also improves the state of modern literature as a whole. We can appreciate that, since our daily posts about internships are a key part of modern American literature (yes, we’re kidding). In fact, Poets & Writers is the country’s largest non-profit organization that serves creative writers. They offer opportunities for writers to connect with each other and funding for “writers who give readings or conduct writing workshops.” Poets & Writers also acts as a resource and clearinghouse for information that creative writers will find valuable. They “compile resources with real value to writers,” while eliminating all the junk that might not seem so bad at first. Isn’t it nice to have someone digest information for you and then spit it back to you after they’ve given it a good once, twice, or three times over? Poets & Writers shares this information through their website and their magazine. Continue reading about Poets & Writers…
