Microsoft Office 2010 blog your-social-media

All the hubbub recently about Twitter (Google acquisition? No acquisition? – Originally read through Scoble) has made me a bit curious about the new trends in social media. Heck,Office 2007 Pro, even Mini-Microsoft (the mystery Microsoft blogger) started Twittering,Microsoft Office 2007 Key, so you know it’s time to start paying attention!Last Friday,Office 2010 Professional Key, I finally broke down and started my own Twitter account. (Started is kind of a loose term... I’ve had it for a year, just never used it!) Then today – after seeing a ton of Tweets about the updated FriendFeed Beta,Genuine Windows 7, I decided to sign up and give that a try also. Now that I’m busy going about building yet another social network, it’s got me thinking: Do people really find jobs using these? As a recruiter, I’ve found several excellent employees through social networking sites (namely LinkedIn and Facebook – see Ryan’s recent post for more). But Twitter? The Micro-Blog? I’ve heard stories – mostly through someone who knows someone, who knows someone who hired or was hired through Twitter. But these only carry so much weight. I want to hear it from you! So,Microsoft Office 2010, tell me: What’s your social media story? How has the world of social networks helped you land that perfect job? Do you use Twitter? FriendFeed? Looking forward to your comments! Oh, and while I’m at it -- feel free to connect: My Windows Live; My LinkedIn; My Twitter; My Facebook; My FriendFeed. -Kenji
