I haven't tried this yet but it has given me an idea of how it could help me with a project I'm working on. Thanks for the tips. I may come back with another question or two later.
Having learned something from Jim about Twitter I was surprised to find this (I shouldn't have been surprised. That's the whole point) http://www.davidhenderson.com/2009/01/21/key-online-influencer/
Twittering, like almost ALL online writing is akin to posting on the bahroom wals - sooner or later everyone will see it. There has been a small thread on a HRBot that would be set up to crawl all social media sites looking for what job applicants have posted. In that same groups of thoughts was an application form that asked for your IDs on all social media sites you have posted on. j.
