The other day, we were poking around various job sites (purely for educational purposes! Really!) when we came across an interesting listing on our own site. "Manager, Social Networking Site," the title read. Really? Social networking? People are still jumping on that bandwagon? Then it all made sense: The listing was for Salon, which has never met a misguided online business strategy it didn't like. Now, they want someone who "will help direct an ambitious new initiative in social networking."
