Maybe it's all these strange niche blogs that seem to be getting book deals of late, but the old 80's show That's Incredible was on our mind the other day. The show, which in our youth seemed utterly crazy (and yes incredible), in retrospect was pretty tame, you know, compared to the Internet. Anyway, you know what's also incredible? Our job board! Currently there are postings for a Website Editor & Executive Assistant to the CEO, also an Editor-in-Chief, and a Web Producer. And there is plenty more where those came from here.

According to a piece in this week's Time, jobs are the new assets. Should you be looking to bulk up on yours -- or hand them out! -- don't forget to check out our job page! We have plenty coming and going.

Inspired by all the change that took place this week? Want some of your own? Why not bail yourself out with the help of our job boards? Here's a look at what's available: Ladies Home Journal is looking for a features editor, a Black Celebrity & Entertainment News Site is looking for a web editor/blogger, and the New York Post wants Telesales Account Associates. All that and more here.
