posterous works to update all my sites at the same time!

It should be all set up now to post to my facebook, linkedin, typepad, twitter, flickr accounts at the same time. That's cool. It's been a hit or miss lately as I pick whatever is the most handy. I'll see how this goes. Depends on the content. Let's upload a photo just for fun.

Freelancers Union Initiates Campaign to End Unpaid Wages for Freelancers

Recently I received the Freelancers Union member newsletter which gives a summary (see below) of what they are working on.

4in10freelancers 

They have initiated a subway campaign in New York to bring awareness to the problem of unpaid work for freelancers. Employees are protected by the Department of Labor. Since freelance workers are now 30% of the workforce, it's time for a change. Members can sign up in support of the cause. There is also a page where freelancers are listing "who not to work for" - the companies who stiffed them. In some cases there is a pattern of non-payment. So far there are more than 140 comments.

NYDailyNews.com has picked up the story. Check it out!  And you can see the subway ads (Download SubwayAds) here.

 Have you ever been unable to collect payment? How did you handle it?


Happy Ghosts on MyBlogLog Widget

Mybloglog Why don't people just upload their photos? I could not believe how many of the faces on the MyBlogLog widget this morning were happy ghosts. What's the deal? 


Myblogloglogo I have always enjoyed the community of MyBlogLog. You can actually see who you are having a conversation with.  I clicked on some of the ghosts and found that they really are haunting the site. They might have started to create an account but there is no actual blog attached. Maybe it's time to eliminate some of the dead wood on MyBlogLog. What do you think? Do you enjoy the community? How important is it to you to "see" the person visiting your site? I understand the privacy issue, but it seems like this is something else.
