Buttafly Unltd, Inc is a company that sells fashionable T-shirts, accessories, and handbags that celebrate individuality.

One of my tasks is to find another intern, a Social Networking Intern. Ideally, we are looking for someone who is a strong writer, and is interested in blogging about Buttafly Unltd's events on Facebook and making Twitter posts.

The events to be blogged about include interviews, workshops, and meet-and-greets. This is a very exciting time to be involved with our company, seeing as how we're about to launch the full-fledged version of our website, create a film project, and video magazines.
