somebody hire ben

Ben Metcalfe, who is working at the forefront of social media for the BBC [I know. Social Media. BBC. Oxymoron. Tell me about it.] is looking for a job in the U.S.A. [I'm assuming Silicon Valley or thereabouts].
Although Ben and I disagree [understatement] about certain things, we actually get along in person rather well [even though yes, I am actually an even bigger asshole in real life than I am online... Then again, so is he].
Besides, he’s wicked smart. His CV is here. Or drop him a line.
[UPDATE:] Euan “BBC Social Media Godfather” Semple concurs: Ben and I are both assholes.

The best way to support gapingvoid is to sign up to "Hugh's Daily Frickin' Cartoon" Newsletter. A new cartoon sent out every weekday morning to your inbox [RSS version here.]. A wee chuckle to start your day off right etc.
