There are rumors flying around that Apple is looking forward to hire a blogger for its news. It appears that Apple’s PR staff has been advised to approach bloggers, or even blog on their own. A spy at Cupertino sent Gawker a remarkable news of sighting of TechCrunch’s mobile industry editor Greg Kumparak taking what appeared to be a job offer packet from Apple.

This is what spy reported:

I’m at a restaurant/brewery called BJ’s in Cupertino, which is pretty much right outside Apple HQ’s front door. About one hour ago, three Apple employees came in. You can always tell because of the badges they wear on those extending cable things… What was weird was who joined them: Greg Kumparak, who writes for TechCrunch. Recognized him from his videos.

I could not hear what was going on, but about 10 minutes into the meal one of the Apple employees handed him a folder with an Apple logo on it. From what i’ve seen before, I’m almost certain this was an offer packet. They spent about 30 minutes talking about it. I could be wrong, but it really looked like Apple was trying to court him for a job.

Apple CEO Steve Jobs has been regularly contributing to some blogs, and sending tiny messages about his products to Apple’s fans. We also know that some other companies like Nokia and Orange, have also been hiring professional bloggers to promote their brands. But the question is whether Apple really needs one?  Apple already have a wide range of bloggers and websites like Redmond Pie and The Readers Eye who are commenting on every announcements of the company.  [Via Gawker & Cult of Mac]
