Recruiting A Content Developer.

The recent post observed that some companies could be short changing themselves by classifying their Content Developers as employees devoted simply to supporting a company website. If you take a look at the job listings that we run in the far right column here on ContentDeveloper.com (thanks to ) you’ll likely see a current example or two of a company in the early stages of putting this type of organizational structure into action.

Perhaps there’s nothing inherently wrong with a precisely constructed gig, and in some organizations of a certain scale it may even be the best way to go. Still, in many situations the approach seems to risk limiting the upside possibilities for both the company and the employee. That’s why it was encouraging to run across a job description for a Content Developer that broke out of those narrow confines to capture what being a Content Developer can be all about.

The job description is from New York and New Orleans based and reads as follows:

Senior Content Developer - Prolific idea generator. Develops numerous useful and useless ideas and content for a broad range of clients/oversees creative development among creative group according to specific client responsibilities.

Comment on Open Source SMS Text Messaging Application by Creg Fielding
TxtWire has a web service that will return the cell phone carrier. Just pass it a phone number and it will tell you who the carrier is even if the phone number is ported from one carrier to another. Our database is updated daily so even numbers that are ported today report correctly tomorrow. If you would like a demo account call. We have several large corporations and online software vendors using the service. cfielding@txtwire.com http://www.txtwire.com

Great post DC. Very interesting approach to sending SMS. Is the source code for this actually available anywhere? Thanks!

Comment on Open Source SMS Text Messaging Application by JustUs1776
Great post. I'm a LAMP Developer and I was wondering if anyone has been able to build their own GSM server. That is, a server that can utilize a GSM modem to send direct, local messages to cell or IP phones. I'm working for a not-for-profit health care organization and have a suite of applications that I'd like to improve communication turn around time by sending SMS messages our nurses IP phones and our Physician's cell phones. I've found a ton of services that are all cost prohibitive and was hoping for an open source solution.

Comment on Open Source SMS Text Messaging Application by Roy
My son's teacher would like to be able to send short text messages to students. I'm looking for a simple solution that would allow him to broadcast to 20-40 students a "reminder" about class info. This article looks very promising, but It appears to be server based. Can this type of program be modified to run run stand-a-lone, ie flash drive, desktop...?
