SEEKING FREELANCER looking for a "data reporter", Burlingame, CA and/or remote
About Us
We think that OkTrends (<a href="http://blog.okcupid.com/" >http://blog.okcupid.com/</a>) is one of the best blogs for compiling research on real-life usage patterns in an interesting, visual, way, and we want to re-create it for car-buying.
We also think that people should be able to buy a car using the internet for as much of the transaction as possible. Our mission at CarWoo!(YC S09) is to become "THE Transactional Car Buying and Selling Marketplace." We are getting closer to our goal all the time, and have now seen many thousands of transactions come through the site. We're sitting on piles and piles of data, and we need to get it out in a more broad way.
To fulfill our mission, we have to get the word out about who we are. That's where you come in.
About You
You should be curious about patterns in data, have a background in research or other relevant experience, and have a knack for writing in a way that is relatable to ordinary folks, yet packed with insight and deep understanding.
More Details
We've got lots of ideas on posts, you'll be free to add your ideas to the pot also. As far as the actual content of the posts, think lots of charts, statistical analysis of our data, and a story around everything from who our visitors are, to what times of the year people do their car-buying, to trending &#38; popular cars, etc.

This would be an ongoing project, with a steady stream of work.
