HELP WANTED: Be Me Online (for 1 week)
Seriously, I have a problem:
- I have 642 unopened messages on Facebook and haven’t posted a status update since October 1st.
- I have 3,639 followers on Twitter and, though I tweeted 4 times yesterday, each one was a struggle.
- I try to post 6-8 times per day here on Zoomdoggle, but somehow talking about fun is keeping me from having any.
- My primary email account (gmail) currently has 29,568 unread messages. Admittedly most are newsletters I’ve signed up for, or notes from my mom who’s currently bedridden with little more than a laptop to entertain her, still, it’s hard to keep up.
I need a break. Just for a week. I need someone to take over my Facebook correspondence, picture posting, and commenting. I need someone to blog for me. I need someone to twitter, thumb things up and down on Stumbleupon, and vote things “cute” or “wtf” on Buzzfeed.
Of course we’ll replace my picture with yours in all of these places while you in control. And, because Ford lent me a Fiesta on account of my being active online - but for this week you’ll be active in my place - you can have the car for the week too. Perhaps most importantly IT IS A PAYING JOB; though salary is dependant on experience. Think you’ve got what it takes? Check out the full ad on Craigslist, then drop me a line.
UPDATE: The candidate has been chosen. The “Hi I’m Jake” photo changed out. The passwords transferred (for Facebook and Twitter too). Any second now, my doppelganger will kick off week one. He’s a great guy and I can’t wait for you to meet him, er, me. Anyway, if all goes well, we might be looking for another me next week. Keep the applications coming…

Brilliant. I’ll be sending in my resume.

Who knew being a douche could be so hard. Just kidding. No, but really.

Pay on experience… does that mean the more hours we’ve logged being you already the more we can get paid? I don’t think I’d be getting much, but I’d still like to throw my hat into the ring.

When is this supposed to take place? I’m moving next week and use of the car alone could make it more than worth the effort.

To be clear, on Facebook are we responding as you or as me (or whoever) on your behalf? You seem to have loads of attractive female friends and I wouldn’t mind tagging a little PS onto messages if that’s cool.
BTW I’m single in case you couldn’t tell.

This is stupid.

You should post some of the applicants. I’m curious what someone who thinks they’d make a good you says…

Could we give away buckyballs too? I notice that’s something that happens online as well.
October 22nd, 2009 at 11:44 am
You should pay the winner in Buckyballs.

I cant sleep without my buckyballs.

Why not get Yogesh to do it?
