Who says new technologies don’t create new jobs?

Permanent full-time position for a personal social coordinator for a New York-based web designer.

Your primary responsibility will be managing my accounts with various online social networking sites including, but not limited to, Friendster, LinkedIn, Tribe, Orkut, Ryze, Spoke, ZeroDegrees, Ecademy, RealContacts, Ringo, MySpace, Yafro, EveryonesConnected, Friendzy, FriendSurfer, Tickle, Evite, Plaxo, Squiby, and WhizSpark.

Future duties may include discouraging companies and individuals from starting new social networking sites so that additional staff won't be necessary in the future. Past employment as a bouncer, “heavy”, or hired goon may be helpful in this regard.

Okay, so he’s kidding. But look: Somebody really needs to invent something new, soon, so tech companies and venture capitalists will stop chasing all these trivial little ideas expecting one of them to be the next Tulip Bubble.
