How Twitter and Crowdsourcing Are Reshaping Recruiting - The Con. By Jeanne C Meister and Karie Willyerd | 1:12 PM September 25, 2009 Why don’t more companies use Twitter to hire the right job candidates? We also know that there can be an opportunity cost in not tweeting: last month, Jeanne was at the Legg Mason tennis finals watching Andy Roddick lose in 122-degree heat. After the four-hour match, she wrote a tweet about it — and before she’d even left the stadium, several followers sent replies asking why she hadn’t met up with them to watch the match together. So think of the untapped potential opportunities for companies looking to source and attract talent. As social media is used inside the company to increase collaboration, communication and innovation, it’s become important for recruiters to locate prospective employees who are also users of social media.

Dorsey, then an undergraduate student at New York University, introduced the idea of an individual using an SMS service to communicate with a small group.[15][16] The original project code name for the service was twttr, an idea that Williams later ascribed to Noah Glass,[17] inspired by Flickr and the five-character length of American SMS short codes.

"[18] Work on the project started on March 21, 2006, when Dorsey published the first Twitter message at 9:50 PM Pacific Standard Time (PST): "just setting up my twttr".[1] Dorsey has explained the origin of the "Twitter" title: ...we came across the word 'twitter', and it was just perfect.

I was wrong. I thought social networking was a fad, a passing fancy because people were too busy to spend their days communicating with one another, even in 140 characters. Now, I have big egg on my face, of course, because it is the biggest thing going.
But it wasn’t always so that we wanted to communicate with one another. Young people wouldn’t know this; old people are totally lost and middle aged ones are the ones who really surprise me. There was a time, not too long ago, when middle aged men did not exchange written words with anyone. And a lot haven’t learned yet that anything you put in a cell phone, on a web site, an internet gathering place can be accessed by someone and as Tiger Woods is learning, prove devastating when someone digs it up and pushes it for what is now the whole world to see. Tiger didn’t do anything millions of other men (and quite a few women) aren’t doing or wishing they could do. I think it is too late now, for things to change. Mexican Government Uses Facebook to Combat Tourism Declines - Fl. The Mexican Council for the Promotion of Tourism (CPTM per Spanish initials), just wrapped up a combination game-giveaway for Facebook users meant to promote the country’s multi-billion dollar tourism industry.
The “Gracias A Ti Vive Mexico” web site used Facebook Connect to award a total of 10 vacation packages from December 21 through 31 to players of the Council’s game — who had to be Facebook users. To play and compete in the contest, users had to have a Facebook page and live in Mexico. As we reported in November, Mexico is one of the Latin American countries experiencing the most Facebook growth, rising by nearly half a million new users to reach 6.67 million at the end of last month. We’re not sure how many people played the game — we tried contacting the Council and haven’t heard back. But, the game’s Facebook page now has more than 1,300 fans and the gamehelped promote the game, pointing to other social media sites such as Flickr, YouTube and Twitter.
