Topic: Digging Into RecruitingBlogs.com v1.29: ffed at these sorts of questions as recently as earlier this week. I'm not sure if it was the financial failure of key old media firms or simply finally getting enough rest to recover from October's India trip. Somehow, in the course of navigating the week, my view of the whole thing shifted. These days, my Facebook news feed and my Twitter feed are virtually indistinguishable. The two information flows seem to have merged and are generating an enormous value. Not only don't I read the newspaper (even the Wall Street Journal on my Kindle seems tame), I can't. The volatile flow of information from my friends and connections is livelier and vastly more relevant than the newspaper ever was. Google News and Techmeme, my go-to sources, rarely approach the novelty and wisdom of news filtered by my friends. I can always count on Shannon Seery Gude to deliver gems like "A Blog Should Feel Like a Gift: 10 Ways to Improve Your Corporate Blog". Josh Kahn is usually ready with a meaty pointer or a new tool. Right or Wrong, Chris Russell is consistently provocative. Susan Kang Nam finds amazing ideas. My kids and their friends seamlessly blend with the professional connections and long time comrades who occupy my news feed. The list is endless. Several hundred friends on Facebook and Twitter create a flow of ideas that doesn't require anyone to be always on. It's a new crowd-filtered news source. Meanwhile, over here at RBC, Susan Burns has been really polishing the process she uses in Talent Talk Cafe. If you haven't visited, you ought to log in one Tuesday or Thursday. The most recent session, led by Joe Gerstandt was an insightful exploration of the damage done by unchecked assumptions and some ideas about making workplaces more intellectually flexible. Regulars like Paul DeBettignies. Maren Hogan (the real life force behind RBC) and a host of others turn conversation into education. I have to believe that Susan's footwork is the real root of the successes. The chat function on RBC becomes a classrom when Susan sets up shop. Something's happening, again. Jessica Maher produced a comprehensive guide to the potential benefits of using Twitter this week. It's just a part of the RBC flow. We bootstrap each other into new levels of productivity and understanding. RBC is becoming a platform for productivity development in Social Media. The boundaries blur between the services. One space is for friends, one for candidates, one for status. They start to feel like aspects of a whole. As my platform of choice, RBC acts as a centerpiece. I think we're about to develop some really new language for web based activities. I don't really go to the web anymore. I sort of live there and get my intellectual food between phone calls, projects, meetings and the other things that drive my day. It's an information environment that really comes to life when you let the community carry you.…; Added by John Sumser at 8:50pm on December 11, 2008

Topic: Are the Best Things in Life Free?: produce original content consistently, that create thoughtful and meaningful responses to emotionally- or politically-charged blogs or discussions. There are those that prefer to simply peruse the pages of RBC searching for answers or shared experiences. Lurkers represent the listeners, the audience, the foot soldiers in the trenches. The readers. The opportunity to step out of the trenches every now and again is here, right in front of you. Click on "write a post" or "start a discussion" and there you have it. An instant platform, an opportunity to put thoughts to page, to raise awareness, to share know-how, to stir the pot or spoil the stew - whatever the case may be. Some write "because it's there." Others write because they have to - to increase their vocabulary and develop their brains or simply to spew some venom. To liberate their thoughts. "Blogging is free, it doesn't matter if anyone reads it. What matters is the humility that comes from writing it. What matters is the meta-cognition that comes from thinking about what you're gonna say... If you're good at it, some people are gonna read it. If you're not good at it and you stick with it, you'll get good at it. This has become such a micropublishing platform that, basically, you're doing it for yourself, to force yourself to become part of the conversation, even if it's just that big. And that posture change changes an enormous amount." So says Seth Godin at a recent Amex Open Session. Blogging is free but does that lower the perceived value? Because anyone and everyone can do it, express themselves in numerous forums through the written word, should they? Should we? Bloggers have been blamed for putting reporters and columnists out of work, for twisting the truth, for gaining knowledge using unethical or easy means, for not checking their facts, for not having a formal education or experience... Oh, because the news media, in its previous form, was never charged with those accusations, right? Seth Godin was a columnist for printed media, yet he doesn't appear to be out of work. Why is that? Is it because he changed as technology did? Because he embraced the new and saw the direction media was going? He put down his pen and now fervently moves a cursor. Tom Peters, co-author of In Search of Excellence , finished Seth Godin's preceding statement with, "My first post (blog)was in August of 2004. I will simply say, no single thing, in the last fifteen years professionally, has been more important in my life than blogging. It has changed my life. It has changed my perspective. It has changed my intellectual outlook. It has changed my emotional outlook and it's the best damn marketing tool by an order of magnitude that I've ever had." Godin responds, "And it's free." That being said, the only question remaining, "Why aren't you blogging?" by rayannethorn…; Added by Rayanne at 1:34am on July 29, 2009

And if it's younger or more tech-savvy workers you seek, what about all the recruiting methods possible over mobile devices? It's an even larger talent pool than PC users! In a fast-moving webinar, JobMachine sourcing guru Glenn Gutmacher (who's also our new VP of ACES - Arbita Education & Consulting Services), will cover many of the currently effective methods and a couple of promising emerging ones. He'll share both the strategic and the practical how-to information that will allow you to create your own blueprint to build targeted pools to address your pipeline pain points. It'll be a well-spent 90 minutes that's sure to open new sourcing possibilities for you. This webinar is for corporate recruiting as well as third-party staffing professionals regardless of size or budget (almost everything Glenn will show is free) who want to tap this large potential pool of talent but don't know where to dive in first, given the dizzying range of options. Some topics he'll cover: * optimize your main website and create themed microsites to use them to drive people to you with search engine optimization (SEO) and marketing (SEM) * utilize social networking platforms like Ning to create your own community/communities * leverage existing networks to market and build your own pool * how to approach the people you find and who find you * obtain target audience peer contributions within your organization to generate compelling content for e-newsletters and blogs that safely straddles the line between professionally-useful content and a subtle recruitment message * free or low-cost viral content like video, widgets and virtual career fairs, and more! You will receive the Powerpoint slides in .pdf format by email the next business day after the webinar.
