Possible career opportunity, if tech writing and/or ditch digging falls through

[Emily Berk <emily -at- armadillosoft -dot- com>]

"...  In its short history, Twitter ­ a 
microblogging tool that uses 140 characters in 
bursts of text ­ has become an important 
marketing tool for celebrities, politicians and 
businesses, promising a level of intimacy never 
before approached online, as well as giving the 
public the ability to speak directly to people 
and institutions once comfortably on a pedestal.

But someone has to do all that writing, even if 
each entry is barely a sentence long. In many 
cases, celebrities and their handlers have turned 
to outside writers ­ ghost Twitterers, if you 
will ­ who keep fans updated on the latest twists 
and turns, often in the star?s own voice. ..."

Remember, the person you're talking with on the 
Web might not actually be the person you're talking with.
