ReadWriteWeb Is Hiring Content Farm Refugees

Marshall Kilpatrick is co-editor of ReadWriteWeb, but he didn’t get there through “traditional” means.

In fact, he says, he started five years ago working in the trenches of AOL’s Weblogs Inc, writing five articles per day for $5 each. “It was grueling, that was just one of 3 jobs I had at the time – and it was great.”

He says that because he was good, hardworking, and smart (he started getting RSS feeds via SMS and IM before most tech journalists did), he moved from Weblogs when he got a job offer from TechCrunch.

Now he is co-editor of ReadWriteWeb, where the pay is better but the emphasis on quantity and speed is the same.
