Comment on: Blog Post 'A Rant about Clay Shirky': ns the floodgate to criticism, but such is how the game is played. At least you have the guts to step out and have a voice. In the same breath, you have to be willing to evangelize your product and not only say it's the creme' de la creme', but make it so. If you, as the entrepreneur, don't have passion, nobody else will. And in the early stages, you're really selling yourself and your belief in your product, right? :) To your comment about seeing others get ahead, I don't know if you're speaking from the vantage point of an employee, or perhaps something else. But I believe you're describing the notion of "Social Capital". There are 2 schools of thought about social capital - one endorses socioeconomic position (i.e." you have little control over your position as you're largely born into it", and/or "why the rich continue to get richer"), while the other endorses network self-positioning (i.e. the concept that you can, in some ways, enhance your network position to gain more social capital.) The truth is that social capital is extremely important because we rarely get ahead on our own. In a bit of self-aggrandizement, we might want to believe so, but success takes the help of others . . . just as we reach out to help them be successful as well :) I wish you the best of luck evangelizing your solution and hope to see you make it a success :)…; Added by Joshua Letourneau at 12:20pm on January 20, 2010

Comment on: Topic 'MY MOUSETRAP WORKS JUST FINE!': end of the day people build relationships not machines- From personal experience...calling people and reaching out to them to make a connection is the quickest way to fill job orders not the next best shiny gadget. Personally I am not into this"database-keyword-dial-for-dollars-push-resume-as-fast-as-you-can-to-client-model" Furthermore, if you think about it... if a person is not looking for work and you are spending your day blasting tweets about jobs- wishfully thinking you will reach the right person- is this really a good use of time? Probably not...you have to network or headhut to find the right person. HELLO???? Now I do not take away from tweeting some people might find it effective- the more power to you.. I found that blasting to be blasting is a waste of time- strategy is imperative. I do believe in maintaining good comprehensive strategies. At this point however, Tweetie Bird has not worked for me yet and my time is valuable so I have to do what is most effective and proven to work for me- I pick up the phone and call people or I network through others. Obviously, when recruiting, you have to consider the role as you are building your strategy and while some methods may work with some positions -they may not in other cases. I've found that it's one thing to talk about recruitment strategy but when you are in the trenches actually doing the work it is a different ball game. Good stuff Sandra...good stuff!!!…; Added by Heidi at 2:27pm on October 6, 2010
