Marketers Make Social Networks Top Priority for 2010

Jobvite

eMarketer recently published results of the 2010 Digital Marketing Outlook survey in which marketers reported their priorities for investment in the coming year. The top priority for 45.4% of senior marketers is social networks and applications, followed closely by digital infrastructure (44.5%). It makes sense that infrastructure investment follows close on the heels of social media marketing – that we need digital marketing infrastructure that fits the world of social media to realize a return

“Say, Tom, let me whitewash a little.” Tom considered, was about to consent; but he altered his mind: “No – no – I reckon it wouldn’t hardly do, Ben. You see, Aunt Polly’s awful particular about this fence – right here on the street, you know – but if it was the back fence I wouldn’t mind and she wouldn’t. Yes, she’s awful particular about this fence; it’s got to be done very careful; I reckon there ain’t one boy in a thousand, maybe two thousand, that can do it the way it’s got to be done.

Argument of the Day: Is Twitter a Job Board

Staffing Talk

Is Twitter a job board? Today I found myself in the middle of an argument after I tweeted about a conversation I had with William Fischer, the man behind Twitter job search engine http:www.twitjobsearch.com. TwitJobSearch reads every message coming off micro-blogging sites like Twitter and Google Buzz, analyzing them to see if they are job opening related and if so does research on the tweeter's profile to get location and other details.

How I Was Hoodwinked on Twitter by Tech Pundit Louis Gray

Staffing Talk

Note: Louis Gray is a well-known and respected tech blogger. I assume he fell into the role I describe here unwittingly, perhaps as part of the collateral damage of being associated with new tech toys. Like it or not, people will judge you on Twitter based on your following/follower ratio. If that ratio is bad (following many, followed by few) which it is for many spammy network marketers, people will shun you and avoid following you without another thought.
