WashingtonPost.com Is Curious
Not content with knowing readers' ages and Zip codes, the Washington Post's website will now ask "for a job title, a description of their primary responsibility, the size of their company and the industry in which they work. . . Users who provide Zip codes in the Washington area will also have to give their home address."
Questions WashingtonPost.com may ask you at some point in the future:
·Favorite color?
·Blood type?
·If you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be?
·Do you think you could edit Tina Brown's column for us?
·If you see Tony Kornheiser, could you please ask him to keep his voice down?
·Are you an important media professional? If so, Howie Kurtz would like to transcribe your thoughts and present them as "analysis." (Please take a number.)
·Hank Stuever needs a column idea. Free associate on a topic of your choosing. (Already taken: plastic chairs, not relating to what kids listen to these days, merino sweaters.)
·Are you a CIA operative? (We promise not to tell Bob Novak.)
·Seriously, will you please take a crack at the Tina column? We lost three of our best men on the Trump piece alone.
