Jason: Great point about "gatekeepers". Michael: Wow, one job via your blog and one job via your twitter. You know exactly how I feel! Charlotte: Hmm...I'd love some Oprah tickets. What did you do to get those? Thanks for all the amazing comments everyone!

Jason: Great point about “gatekeepers”.

I've met a few people in my field through twitter. I hadn't considered the possibility of finding employment though...which now I see as an excellent opportunity! I should keep my eyes peeled. Through twitter I have met the folks that host CUSP conference and was able to attend last summer. Oh, and not to mention the Oprah tickets I scored in August! The @ reply is powerful Great post!

I got my job at Yahoo! a few years ago because of my personal blog. The hiring manager subscribed to my feed; and when a position opened up on her team -- she called me. We had exchanged messages within my comments for a year or so prior to that. And more recently, I met Steve Rubel (IRL) last summer when we were both speaking on a panel. I had interacted with him for a few years prior to that (via twitter). WE had dinner, talked for a while and two months later I work for Edelman. Michael @Britopian Suzanne — great post and a great testimony not only to the power of twitter but also building relationships in general.

A big advantage of social media is the increased access everyone gets to everyone else. Pre-social media you would've had to go through various gatekeepers to get to certain people. But now that some tweet and blog, you can talk to them directly. I'm surprised that so many people still rely on sending resumes when you stand out much more if you take the time to find people in the companies you want to work with and show your value. Nice post.

Twitter is about conversation, not just sharing links, so those who "get it" know to participate and engage as best they can. Twitter is not texting or IM, so thanks for "Know when to take a conversation 'offline'." Big peeve of mine. FWIW. Nice tips for using the @replies.
