2 Twitter enhancements to make me smile for a week!

2 Replies

I’m using real info on this, outting my new Twitter buddy. Actually, we met on Saturday in person, and I doubt Clint would care if you know he and I hang out (well, hung out for 20 minutes :p).

Here’s the e-mail I get when someone follows me on Twitter:

Herlo on Twitter is now following me

I would so love it if they also told me:

  1. If I was following this person. If the name and handle doesn’t ring a bell, it would be uber-helpful. Plus, if I already know who they are, and you TELL me that I’m following them, then I don’t have to click through to check. Please Ev, do that one for me?
  2. Please plug in their little summary. If I don’t recognize their name or handle, this would really help. Especially if you make their URL a hyperlink, so I can click on it from my e-mail. You know what I’m talking about, all this stuff:

Twitter about me area

Oh yeah, include the stats, also. That way if they are following 3,000+ people and have 4 people following them I KNOW I don’t want to be #5.

Herlo’s stats, as of right now.

Evan, seriously,this would take your programmer like 20 minutes to do. Please make my life just a little easier!

Excellent NYT Articles

One of my online buddies and JibberJobber members sent me a couple of article that I really enjoyed… totally different but really cool:

Blogging’s a Low-Cost, High Return Marketing Tool – I like this because it’s inline with my new CEO Training for CEO’s of Me, Inc.  I’ll be referring to it in those sessions.

How to Lose Your Job on Your Own Time – This is about privacy online.  Love the first two paragraphs to set the stage (I didn’t know that about Ford).

Thanks NHR!

CNN & CareerBuilder – Don’t Ever Share This (or, share it now!)

I’m confused. And this is just too good to pass up.

I read a great article on CNN by CareerBuilder – the worst states for job hunting. Check out the language at the end of the post:

In case you can’t read it, it says:

My favorite part is right above this warning, disclaimer, or whatever legal people call it, that says:

E-mail to a friend

This is as good as when Scoble got kicked out of Facebook for using a tool, or better, when Harry Joiner got kicked out of Facebook for using Facebook’s importer.

Networking Pays

I just got a call from a guy who is putting on a local job fair… a very different kind of job fair, and wants me to be involved. I don’t have any experience with job fairs (I should say, any positive experiences), but am excited about what they are doing.

Anyway, I asked him, “how did you find me, anyway?” He said he googled job help. So I went to see what I could find. I saw something that was freaking cool…. check this out:

Job Help from Google results

Now, this isn’t as good as being the real second result, but we are right there… I don’t know how else to get into this position, other than nurturing relationships (okay, so it helps to have a product that isn’t cliche).

Thank you Alison!
