I am dido-ing with Brett's comment below. I kinda like that its not some huge social networking site. With a smaller member base, it's much easier to get more personal feedback from other journalists. Thanks again for letting people know about this site. I will try and spread the word.

USAT is huge and intimidating ... and really quiet. Maybe it was because I was in the Tech/Money section (I've heard the Life section is more lively). Just work your butt off from the very beginning, don't be afraid to ask questions, and they'll definitely notice (good for bylines). Talk with everyone, even in the elevators. And make sure you keep in contact with them once you leave. My previous bosses still give me good advice, recommendations and just good conversation.

Yay USAT! No, I'm not working through the Talent program. They suggested it, but I don't graduate until the end of the summer -- one of the requirements for the program.

I interned at USAT last summer. Let me know if you need any advice or want any pointers on how to kick ass.
