The May 17, 2010 #journchat twitter discussion covered such topics as: SEO vs. clever headlines, iPad readers, hiring someone who uses social media, emailing your resume.
Here’s my responses to four of the questions.
—————————————–
Q6) Has SEO influenced a headline (or press release, blog post)?
Do you think SEO will “kill off the clever headline”?(link)
Spudart: A clever headline will attract links, thus helping with SEO #journchat

Q7) Do you think tablet devices (e.g. iPad) can change way ppl read online content?
Will “skimmers” become “readers”? #journchat (link)
Spudart: Prediction: The iPad will enable people to interact with books more than ever (once we can share margin notes) Q7 #journchat
Spudart: @tlockemy I really hope the iPad will have margin note sharing soon. (Thanks for the RT!)Q7 #journchat

Q9) In hiring process, how important is someone’s online presence?
What is good/bad? #journchat (link)
Spudart: Your online presence is your reflection. Don’t swim in muddy waters. Q9 #journchat
Spudart: @PRjeff Peeps think they can hide in muddy waters online, but Google swims in all ponds (thanks for the RT) Q9 #journchat
Spudart: When hiring, i also like to see the person has interests outside of work, and they carry their passion to that Q9 #journchat
Spudart: If it were my choice, I would only hire people who use social media Q9 #journchat
Spudart: RT @GetPushing: We encourage all staff & interns to be involved in at least 1 charity. Giving back = character. Q9 #journchat

Q11) Is the time coming when you can email and link to resume instead of cover letter/resume? #journchat (link)
Spudart: What if you tweeted your cover letter with a link to your resume? (hmm, actually…) Q11 #journchat
