Valleywag's search for an intern is over, and thank you to all the applicants.

Beth Gottfried will handle assorted duties — watching and snarking on particularly painful tech shows, captioning party photos, and kicking boring commenters off the site. Gottfried blogs at Beth's a Bettie, where she covers celebrities like Sun Microsystems CEO Jonathan Schwartz and the boys from Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. (Lot of parallels to draw there.)

Gottfried's work has appeared on sites like Rotten Tomatoes and PopMatters, and in 2004 Penguin published her book, 10 Secrets I Learned from The Apprentice. Please join me in warmly welcoming Beth Gottfried to Valleywag.
