It turns out I’m still on the b5media mailing list, and there was an email that went out to bloggers last night to which current bloggers responded. It was about a small problem, but what really struck me is that there are at least a few bloggers who were concerned about this small problem. You guys, you have much bigger problems with which to be concerned.

Elizabeth Spiers, formerly of Gawker, has taken a senior role at b5media, and has announced on her personal blog that they’re hiring. She says, “One of my larger clients is launching a new lifestyle site and relaunching three others and I need new staffers for all of them. (We’re basically tearing them down and starting over—redesigning them, restructuring editorially and adding lots of new original content.)”

According to the Inquisitr, Spiers later confirms that the client is b5media, and then also asks for contributors. I cannot put this any more plainly: if you currently blog for b5media, you are losing your job. Don’t waste your time responding to small problems. Get your stuff together and figure out your next steps. At the very least, you guys have a warning.
