Recruiting with the "wayback machine" for Twitter

Thu, 19 Aug 2010 15:36:41 GMT

Are old tweets good tweets? Sometimes! While the main purpose of status updates is to answer the "what are you doing right now" question for our friends and followers, historical data can also prove very useful to recruiters. You just need to know their Twitter username. For example, Glenn's handle is gutmach, so type that in the "Who?" field.Brought to you by: HR Tech Central

Facebook, YouTube at work make better employees: study

Thu, 02 Apr 2009 17:36:38 GMT

MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Caught Twittering or on Facebook at work? It'll make you a better employee, according to an Australian study that shows surfing the Internet for fun during office hours increases productivity. The University of Melbourne study showed that people who use the Internet for personal reasons at work are about 9 percent more productive that those who do not. Study author Brent Coker, from the department of management and marketing, said "workplace Internet leisure browsing," or WILB, helped to sharpened workers' concentration. "People need to zone out for a bit to get back their concentration," Coker said on the university's website (www.unimelb.edu.au/) "Short and unobtrusive breaks, such as a quick surf of the Internet, enables the mind to rest itself, leading to a higher total net concentration for a days' work, and as a result, increased productivity," he said.

OpenSocial: The Internet is The Platform

Anshu Sharma — Fri, 02 Nov 2007 04:04:00 GMT

Even before Google announced OpenSocial, many of us had talked discussed whether a site can be the platform or is the internet itself "the social networking platform". I had stated "It is my perhaps not so humble opinion that the internet will continue to evolve as the platform for social networking."

Here is my post from June 26, 2007. (Yes, there is an element of I said so.)

Facebook or Internet - What is the real social networking platform?

It is my perhaps not so humble opinion that the internet will continue to evolve as the platform for social networking. The early successes and leading sites like Facebook that have gained traction have an opportunity to be part of the broader ecosystem but I disagree with the opinion of some of my peers that one particular company will dominate social networking. The desire to be the platform and the glory that comes with it seems to encourage every successful entrepreneur to declare his technology, website or tool to be the platform.

Lately, there is been a lot of discussion about Facebook and its platform ambitions in particular. Fellow Irregular, Dennis Howlett
