Since restarting Bloglogic.net as a blogging news site, we haven’t had much luck in finding someone to write for it on a consistent basis. As you can see, the site has gone stale. But in an effort to liven things up around here, we’re looking for a few contributors who can do a few posts a week on the topics of blogging and web 2.0.

Valleywag says that 19 year old journalism student, Trent Lapinski, has been poking around the dank and moldy corners of how social networking giant MySpace got started, and he’s about to publish his findings for the world to see. For such a young and aspiring journalist, this could very well be the story of a lifetime. He can kiss a future job interview at NewsCorp goodbye though.
