Tonight on #TNL, some of your favorite Social Recruiting bloggers, including @MikeVanDervort, @ImSoSarah, @BenjaminMcCall @BillBoorman, @Ray_Anne, and more will be on hand to discuss mixing your personal life and professional life in blogging and social media. This is sure to be a very hot topic. So don't miss it tonight from 8-10pm Central on #TNL.

There are a couple of great ways to join in the monthly Social Recruiting chat on Twitter known as TalentNet Live, or #TNL for short. You can find us on Twubs, login at RecruitingBlogs.com, or use a tool like TweetGrid. Ryan Leary made a great video demo of how to use Tweetgrid to follow the conversation. Here it is. Thanks Ryan!

#TNL takes place on the last Wednesday of each month from 8-10pm Central time and features your favorite Social Recruiting peeps. Hope to see you there.

It’s simple to use and will help you make sense out of your Twitterverse. Here are a few key points (below the video) taken from the FAQ’s of Tweetgrid but check out the 2 minute video on making your #TNL experience the best it can be.

What is TweetGrid.com?

TweetGrid is a powerful Twitter Search Dashboard that allows you to search for up to 9 different topics, events, conversations, hashtags, phrases, people, groups, etc in real-time. As new tweets are created, they are automatically updated in the grid. No need to refresh the page!

Can I recruit or Source on TweetGrid.com?

Yes. You can’t get overly complicated, but try modifying something like this:
