Urban Interns has launched to connect small business owners and busy professionals with those seeking part-time, flexible work. This unique marketplace will make employers more efficient in these challenging economic times, and will also provide a resource for students and other job-seekers to find flexible work opportunities.

In an uncertain economic environment, small business owners and busy professionals are looking to streamline costs and increase productivity. Urban Interns was designed to give them access to a pool of labor which can provide an extra set of hands on a flexible basis. At the same time, for job-seekers such as students and college graduates who may be looking for work in non-traditional places, Urban Interns is creating a new way to plug into the small business community.

“Urban Interns functions like a job board, but better,” said co-founder Lauren Porat. “With our targeted focus, proprietary database and search tools, we’ve created a new way to find part-time help. Plus, its simple design is easy for both employers and candidates to use.”

Tsavo Media has launched a trio of new sites– Manolith.com, Twirlit.com, and Kidglue.com.

Unlike the static experience of a traditional blog, the three sites offer greater depth, with search, research and cross-linking. All have been built to be modular, dynamic and much more relevant to the consumer’s specific interests and preferences.

Aimed at women and reminiscent of People Magazine, Twirlit showcases celebrity, gossip, fashion, food, beauty and health. A blend of Esquire, Maxim and Rolling Stone, Manolith shines a light on gadgets, style, health and breaking news. Both are targeted at consumers in their mid-20s to mid-40s. Kidglue offers abundant resources for parents – guides of various stripes, how-to pieces, crafts projects, holiday ideas, pregnancy advice and parenting tips.

Developed by a team of freelance writers and bloggers, original content will be unique to each and will be cross-promoted.
