It should never be done. People ask me why I don't write a book. Its simple. Books have an ending

I think the flattening is just the natural churning out of a portion of the huge number of people who came on board this spring and summer

Twitter isn't for everyone. Its different than facebook, which as you point out, is more personal

But its not just celebrities who get value out of twitter. Businesses, large and small, do as well

The assymetric follow relationship is different and better for some things and some users

Comparing them is not that useful in my opinion

Ooh. That's really cool. I had not heard about that

Imagine on the fly lists that you can join during events

Disqus could automate some of this, at least for those that comment with a twitter login

I agree that is just a tool. But it is a powerful tool

Re: Social Recruiting

fredwilson — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 09:04:59 -0000

good point

but some are on twitter, linkedin, and facebook and maybe they are the kinds
of people you'd want to hire in this day and age

Re: Social Recruiting

twitter can copy indeed's model

there can be free/organic and there cab be ways to amplify by paying

Re: Social Recruiting

fredwilson — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 08:56:44 -0000

that's what references are all about. you have to do the work. linkedin
makes it a lot easier to find people you know in common. twitter and
facebook can help with that too.

I've commented on techcrunch and also this blog in several comment threads

I think everyone is focused on the wrong thing. Yes, offers that should not have been running were. Yes, Zynga was singled out for it and others were not. Yes, Zynga did the right thing by turning off all offers when it became clear that the offer networks couldn't police the offers to Zynga's satisfaction

But we are talking about offers which represent a very small part of Zynga's revenues

What we should be talking about, and learning from, is the massive amount of virtual goods that are being bought in social games. Its a very big deal and all of this focus on offers is missing the big picture
