Twitterployed?

Today Forbes posted an article about using Twitter to find a job. Here are some highlights:

• Make sure your account name contains something about your profession, so your feed shows up when people search associated topics.
  
• Search for industry leaders and other people and companies in your field you’d like to know—some firms even post job openings on their feeds. Sign up to follow their tweets.
  
• In your tweets, offer your opinions on news and seminars relevant to your career. If one of the important people you’ve been following says something notable on a professional topic, forward it or post an open comment.
  
• If you’re following a hiring manager at a firm you’re interested in, tailor your tweets to comment on issues he or she posts about.

So, everyone knows that newspapers are doing really badly. And everyone also knows that there is A LOT of news happening out there in the world. I don't condone ignoring everything in an effort to be less confused, but perhaps we can all just get a bit more conscious of what we are eye-gesting and where it comes from. I will never give up my Sunday New York Times (crossword puzzle and T) but perhaps I don't need to get the paper every day. It clogs my recycle bin and despite all of the free time I have to read it front to back, it's not responsible so lucky me, the internet is like a frat party for news. You can talk to the really smart girl who's not as attractive or the cheap girl with a nice rack. This analogy really makes no sense, but I am going with it. Anyway, organizing internet bookmarks into folders that you can then focus on during certain parts of your day will help you avoid wasting 3 hours reading some asinine crap. For example, in the morning, read news. In the afternoon, visit job sites (seriously, look at all of those internships). At night, read "entertaining" blogs while you're watching crap tv   (seriously, Tyra's bat crap crazy). If you are lacking excellent online reading material, ask friends what blogs read. 

I finally fixed the comment function, so if you could please tell me what websites you read, I would appreciate it. I have a lot of time to kill. But not this much.
