I got an email from team member Dan saying that he has a problem; a good problem, but a problem nonetheless. His site What’s On iPhone has taken off like a bottle rocket!
As Dan says, “in the last two weeks we popped and are getting double the traffic we were getting and are continuing to grow. We even got listed in the top spot by one site in a list of four app review sites. The problem is - I’m getting crushed!”
Hey, we like Dan, and we wouldn’t want that to happen! I told him to put together a blurb - a Help Wanted Ad, if you will - so we could post about it on Gear Diary…
Since we launched (just two months ago), we have been steadily increasing our content and readership. We’re thrilled that the number of visitors to the site has continued to amaze even us! We have big plans to expand the site and are looking for a few iPhone Addicts to join us.
If you are interested in reviewing iPhone and iPod Touch apps, sharing the latest news and offering tips and tricks for using your iPhone in unusual and meaningful ways we want you to join us!
Contact Us with a sample of your writing at whatsoniphone@me.com
We’re looking forward to hearing from you - and so is the rest of the world!
Dimitri and Dan

Even if you don’t aspire to be a good writer - this is an excellent way to learn about WordPress and all the behind the scenes stuff that goes into writing.
I never (and still don’t) have a clue — but am amazed at the amount of stuff that I have picked up about writing and formatting for online.
Also, as a byproduct of doing a lot of writing - you’ll do twice as much reading of product sites, other blogs, etc.
This makes you a great source of entertainment at family gatherings as you’ll be able to launch into 20 minute dissertations about the applications or hardware that you’ve been reading/writing about….I catch myself doing this all the time (laying out the latest product offerings from Palm or Apple along with what’s good or bad about them).

All absolutely true and very well said!
