Extreme desert marathon

We are running this project with Novo Nordisk, where we are building a news website for Søren Lilleøre who is running a six day extreme Marathon in the Morrocan Desert at the end of this month. It's a pretty extreme endeavor and it doesn't become less extreme by the fact that Søren is a type 1 diabetic who has to carry his own insulin and injection devices in the sweltering desert heat. Check out the website, which we (Hello) build in a couple of days and which will be unfolding with a bunch of interesting stories and videos about Søren in the next month or so...

Hello looking for Wordpress/mash-up wiz kids

I am heading up a super exciting social media news project, which is starting this Monday and running for a little more than a month. We are basically putting together an ad-hoc team consisting of a journalist, a Wordpress/mash-up specialist, some assistants and a person with audio/visual skills.

Right now we are looking for the Wordpress/mash-up specialist and the assistants. The Wordpress guy should be familiar with Wordpress and how to move content into and out of Wordpress (youtube, flickr etc. etc.). The assistants do not need technical skills but should know the ins and outs of the social web. The assistants could be employed either as project interns or as student helpers for the period.

The project starts Monday and ends in the middle of April, which means that we are extremely pressed for time. So if you are interested or know of someone who could be, please contact me on +45 4040 9492 or email: peter [dot] svarre [at] hellogroup.com.
