[WEB4LIB] BAY AREA WEB4LIB'S INVITED TO VISIT CNET

[Shirl Kennedy]

I took a look at the URL for the job listings...

I'm really curious..and I'll bet others on this list are as well.  Why, in
this age of connectivity, is it necessary to base virtually all of these
positions in San Francisco?  CNET, by the way, is not the only employer who
does this.

Why such an unenlightened attitude in such a "hot" industry?

Just curious...
