Let's talk Twitter. I want to add some accounts to the people I follow. Writers, moviemakers, comedians, maybe some sports stars. Whatever, as long as it's interesting and isn't full of automated, boring robo-Tweets.

Here's my account:

@TheRealJGarrett

Add me, or don't. I don't care.

Real talk, Twitter is nearly the entirety of my infotainment intake these days. I no longer have the patience for films, books, TV, games, blogs, and I'm starting to reach the point where even YouTube and forum posts are pushing it.

They're both great, I suppose it depends if you want to cut around a bone or not. Bone provides a lot of flavor, but a ribeye is not without flavor and the marbling is wonderful.
That's the thing, I'm seriously trying to crack the Ducasse technique, and steak is actually a fairly limited meat. In the context of pairings: it doesn't go well with pineapple for example.

It's hard enough for me to keep up with my Twitter feed when I've got lots of people who only post once or twice an hour. Kamiya tweets about a dozen times a minute.

@SharkJuanson (https://twitter.com/SharkJuanson)

I link to my YouTube videos, my twitch account (when streaming), and once a day I tweet a link to a new Tumblr post that I've made to try and work out some of my pessimism issues. I also like to tweet about pro wrestling. If you tweet something I'm interested in, I will attempt to engage you in conversation.

If any of that bugs you, we probably shouldn't be Twitter associates.

EVERYONE SHUT DOWN YOUR TWITTERS

The New Résumé: It's 140 Characters
Some Recruiters, Job Seekers Turn to Twitter, but Format Is a Challenge; Six-Second Video Goes Viral

Twitter is becoming the new job board. It is also becoming the new résumé.

Fed up with traditional recruiting sites and floods of irrelevant résumés, some recruiters are turning to the social network to post jobs, hunt for candidates and research applicants.

Some recruiters say Twitter has transformed their prospecting and hiring, helping them identify candidates they wouldn’t have found otherwise, but others say the messaging platform has some way to go before it can replace LinkedIn, Facebook or other job-hunting tools. Lauren Weber reports. Photo: Twitter.

Job seekers, in turn, are trying to summarize their CVs in 140 characters or six-second videos.

Twitter, which was founded in 2006, isn't yet revolutionizing recruiting, but some employers are already using it to great advantage, citing quick, direct contact with candidates and access to broad networks.

The appeal will grow as the site develops, says Josh Bersin, principal and founder of Bersin by Deloitte, a human resources research firm owned by Deloitte Consulting LLP. "Companies see its potential and they know that over time it'll get more sophisticated," allowing recruiters to target the right individuals with both sponsored tweets—essentially, jobs ads—and regular tweets, he said.

Employers have been doing informal background checks using social media sties for a while (somewhat legally problematic in Canada in relation to privacy and human rights legislation as employers may obtain indirectly information they are not allowed to ask for directly).

Well, only an idiot would use his real name on a forum, post photos of himself, or disclose information that makes him easily identifiable.
