Oregon County looking to pay position to use Twitter and Facebook

"A county in the state of Oregon is hiring someone to tweet and use Facebook all day. The official title of the position is going to be Multnomah County Social Media Coordinator, and the position will pay a whopping salary of between $60,000 and $70,000 annually. That is a big chunk of money, and in order to hire on the new position, the county is eliminating a couple of other positions. The decision is getting mixed results from Oregon residents, some of which think it is a great idea, and some of which feel that nobody should be paid that much to "play" on the internet." - AC
