master's thesis

zzzzaxxxx05.jpg

New Yorker James Torio has just written his Master's thesis on blogging, which he did at Syracuse Univeristy, studying Advertising and Design. It's just about the most comprehensive overview on the subject I have ever read. Very impressive. Well done, James.

[Go here to read it.]

Now that he's done with his degree, he's looking for a job. So you can also download his résumé and cover letter from the same link above.

Good luck, James. Great stuff.

[UPDATE:] Within 12 hours of me posting this, James sends me the following e-mail:

Hugh,

I really appreciate your help, I have already had one
job offer. I will keep you posted as things turn out.

I have personally experienced what I all along knew to
be true; blogs have changed the media landscape and
give people a voice and the ability to spread
information at warp speed.

Great news on the job offer, James. Congrats! Let me know how it turns out.

Sounds fab, but the thesis doesn't actually appear to work. That's academe...

It was slow for me (on a corporate network, no less), but eventually came through.

It's a bit slow on my side, but it's ok!

A torrent would help, now that thousands will undoubtedly swarm his site.
