Business data point
Posted by Clay Shirky
Just got email from a headhunter looking for leads for a ‘VP of Social Computing,’ whose job will include building and managing a staff of 75-80 (!) people.
No word on what the company is (though it’s obviously large) and the work doubtless includes a number of more broadcast-oriented efforts as well (e.g. weblogs and RSS as publishing tools as well as conversational ones,) but it was interesting to a) see a VP level hire in this area and b) to see how large a staff is being imagined.

If the position is inside a large company and it takes 70+ people to get blogs, wikis, and RSS working inside it, something is SERIOUSLY wrong with the equation.

If it is still open than I am interested too.
