John Wilpers looking for bloggers again

Only this time, not for some subway throw-away. Wilpers, late of BostonNow, is now director of global blog development for Global News Enterprises, the Boston-based international news site local TV veteran Phil Balboni is setting up for a team of investors that includes cable pioneer Amos Hostetter, Akamai Technologies president Paul Sagan and former Globe publisher Benjamin Taylor. And Wilpers is looking for the best 3-10 bloggers in each of 53 countries on six continents - along with interns to help find them.

Well, if they've raised $7 million, I don't see why they can't give their interns a couple hundred bucks a week.

Geez ...

Darn

I think, in the latest rankings in Blogger Illustrated, I was the 12th best blogger in the US. I guess that leaves me out. Maybe I can shoot Steve Garfield and Spatch and move up a couple of spots.

Is it wise to expose your plans like that in a public forum?

Well...

I figure it will drive up my readership, one way or the other.

Roll Your Own

Maybe you can shorten the cycle, as Wilpers seems pressed for time.

  • Create an authoritative organization name
  • Create the minimal website to match
  • Rank bloggers
  • Make yourself 1, 2 or 3 in the country
