The Cajun Boy — Wed, 13 May 2009 22:52:21 EDT

Jobs! Everybody needs one to pay for booze and porcelain figurine collections and such, right? We can't all be Ben Silverman and douche our way to the top! So we've been keeping an eye out!

And we found one for somebody! On Craigslist, naturally...

We are looking for a few good writers who know their way around Twitter and Facebook who can leave native comments in groups and to people that are relative to our Company's products.
We will pay anyway you like: per comment, per day, per month, per minimum comments left, per forum. Whatever works best for you.

We are a new Company with a great line of products and we are just looking to get recognized. We are not looking to spam thousands of irrelevant comments. We are not very Twitter or FB savvy, and do not have the time to spread the word ourselves. This is like our Stimulus plan. You leave some cool appropriate comments, and we stimultate the economy by 1) paying you good money, and 2) by helping a new company get off the ground. It's a Stimulus whammy!!

Email us and let us know first if you understand your way around Twitter and Facebook, and second if you have the time to help us.

Thanks

So what are you waiting for? Polish up that resume and contact them! Shit, for $2-$5 per comment, I may even have to apply! Who are these people slinging around that kind of money in this economy anyway, Goldman Sachs?

DABA Girls Find Exciting New Option for Romance

Owen Thomas — Fri, 08 May 2009 17:07:59 EDT

We don't think this Craigslist ad from a supposed Goldman Sachs banker is real. For one thing, whoever heard of an employed investment banker? Still, his kink is a real kick!

In case you were wondering, "ABR" is the love that dare not speak its name, because its mouth is too full of nipple.

Tesla trying to raise $100 million?

Owen Thomas — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 18:40:00 EDT

Of troubled electric-car maker Tesla Motors, the shining light of Silicon Valley's nascent clean-transporation industry, commenter quistrl writes:

I hear the company is trying to raise 100mm with Goldman acting as the banker, anyone else hear anything.

First we've heard. Anyone else know if Goldman is out peddling a stake in the company? If true, it must take guts on the parts of Goldman's bankers; as trendy as cleantech is, money-losing startups are not in vogue.

Nintendo makes more per employee than Google or Goldman

Paul Boutin — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 02:00:00 EDT

Damn it feels good to be a gamer: The Financial Times has calculated that Nintendo will make $1.6 million per employee in 2008. That beats Goldman Sach's 2007 record — impressive when you consider Goldman's average salary was $660,000 per year, versus only $90,900 for Nintendo. (Photo by Geek on Stun)

Goldman Sachs is now 10 percent less impressed with Internet

Nicholas Carlson — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 12:20:26 EDT

Citing a more challenging consumer environment, greater customer-acquisition costs and investor reluctance to pay above-market prices for shares, Goldman Sachs today cut price targets for Internet stocks including Google, eBay, and Amazon by 10 percent. For more reasons why Wall Street is suddenly less impressed with your tech stock portfolio, see Goldman's entire report, embedded here:

Helio hires Goldman Sachs

Owen Thomas — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 01:42:24 EST

Helio has tapped Goldman Sachs, its longtime banker, for a new project, we hear. Signing up a banker is usually a sign that a company is putting itself up for sale. Helio, Sky Dayton's wireless startup, began life as a joint venture of EarthLink and SK Telecom, the South Korean phone company. But EarthLink washed its hands of Helio after the untimely death of CEO Garry Betty, and on Tuesday, Dayton and most of his EarthLink-loyalist management team were ousted. Now SK, too, may be looking for Goldman to rid it of a cash-burning child. Why would anyone buy Helio? Not for its tiny user base. Possibly for its innovative phone designs, like the Ocean, and mobile friend-finding services. It is unlikely those will reclaim the hundreds of millions of dollars SK poured into Dayton's dream.
