A Monster deal for The New York Times

By

The New York Times and job search company Monster formed an advertising alliance that would create co-branded helped-wanted and recruitment sites within the websites of Times Co. papers, including the The Boston Globe.

“Together with Monster, The New York Times Co. will significantly increase our presence in the online recruitment space,” Times Co. chief executive Janet L. Robinson said in a statement.

I can only hope that the guys from The New York Times have seen this David and Goliath presentation before the advertising alliance was formed.

Moving on…

What is the purpose of life? Actually, that is not the point of this post. The more appropriate question is, why am I posting here at 901am? You see, people know me as the editor of The Blogging Times, a blog that I launched from ground up and enjoyed working on until the end. Do not email me seeking for answers why I left. It’s plain and simple: I had to move on.

But really, what is the purpose of life? Rick Warren, known for his book “Purpose Driven Life” said that “life is preparation for eternity. We were made to last forever, and God wants us to be with Him in Heaven. He wants us to practice on earth what we will be doing forever in eternity.”

Does this matter to you? Maybe not, but this is the very reason why I’m moving on. I cannot prepare for eternity there. The purpose is lost.
