    “don’t send us stuff you’ve wrote already”

    You should hire me. If for no other reason than to improve the grammar quotient around here. :)

    @jojo. While it’s clear that BGR has experienced some, shall we say, editorial issues lately, I’d hardly pick Phone Scoop as the poster child for telephony technology blogs. EngadgetMobile, sure…but Phone Scoop?

    I kinda like both BGR and phonescoop. I suppose it would be wrong for me to enter as I work for at&t.

    I hope you guys find someone. The amount of articles has slowed down so much. I know quality is before quantity but I still want you guys to hold #1 status, now lets put the word out to the ninjas and get them pumping back some info.

    I’ll apply, but if it’s an original piece, why can’t I submit something i’ve already written? are you going to hold a time trial or something? I thought it was only for things that weren’t published on another site yet, is that true??

    I agree Phone Scoop is awesome, just read an article they posted today that apparently, Apple plans on releasing a device they’ve named, “iPhone 3G” sometime this month…sounds pretty sweet!

    How much of a time commitment would it take?

    Would it be possible to write once or twice a month (for free)? I have no experience blogging about gadgets, but have written text books and other journal articles.

    Write for a site that constantly strokes it’s own ego and makes grammatical mistakes? Right….

    I just found your website and as a freelancer, I have to say that any reputable employer will judge the writer’s talent from previous samples and not ask for original, unpaid work (especially 4 original samples). I’d tend to think those samples might be used elsewhere, without knowledge of the person who contributed it.

    I’m also curious what you pay, or is it simply adshare revenue?
