Technabob Seeks Writers
November 7th, 2008
It’s that time again. Technabob is looking for a few good writers to expand its coverage of all things geeky, gadgety and gamey. If you’re fanatical about video games, gadgets, electronics, hack & mods, or generally offbeat tech stuff, you could be just the guy or gal we’re looking for.
You’ll need to be able to source your own stories, and be able to write with wit, sass, attitude or at least be slightly charming. You’ve also got to be consistent. I’m looking for people who can write 7 to 10 posts a week, maybe more if the readers fall in love with what you have to say. A solid grip on the English language is also a must. You should also have at least some experience using blog software such as WordPress, Blogger or Movable Type – and basic image cropping and sizing in Photoshop or other image editing tools is required.
Now before you get dollar signs in your eyes, I’ll tell you that blogging for Technabob won’t make you a millionaire. But it’s a great opportunity to expose your literary talents to hundreds of thousands of readers each month.
Want to give it a shot? Pick a topic that you think will appeal to Technabob readers, and send along at least two appropriate writing samples to tips@technabob.com. Be sure to include your contact information, and a brief note on why you’d be the perfect addition to the Technabob crew.
I look forward to reading your submissions.

hi team technabob, I just wanted to ask if you guys are hiring people from outside the US. I think that I can handle the job requirements, but the thing is I’m in the Philippines, so I figured I’d ask before sending you guys my application.
Bert: I sent you a private message with requirements for writing from outside of the U.S.
I can’t think of anything worse after a night of drinking than waking up next to someone and not being able to remember their name, or how you met, or why they’re dead. (Laura Kightlinger)
While I love Laura Kightlinger as much as the next guy, I have no idea what that has to do with writing for Technabob. (Unless you’re Laura and you want to write for me
