social networking for jobs

This week’s ‘collection of tid-bits’ is themed around work/employment & social networking sites. I’d like you to find some articles/info/blog posts etc that are related to this theme; people finding work via SNS or how to use SNS for employment etc.

blogs gone bad

This week’s ‘collection of tid-bits’ is themed around ‘blogs gone bad’. I’d like you to find some articles/info/blog posts etc that show some of the ‘unintended consequences’ of blogging. We talked about some examples in class – what’s out there that talks about blogging pitfalls?

(this week’s blog tasks are posted on the weekly tasks page).

Blog work & tasks

-How do manage and organize your bookmarks or favourites right now? Does it work for you? benefits/constraints?
-Check out/explore the following social bookmarking sites:
Delicious
Digg
Diigo
-Sign up for one SB site and add 5 (five) bookmarks that are course related, tag the sites (blog about the sites you chose, what you added, what you found – and some reflections about using the SB sites). Email your username & SB site to Tracy
-Pick a tag (topic/word) of your choice (ie hockey, web 2.0, flowers, twitter etc – anything), Search for this tag on Delicious, Digg and Diigo

-Blog – What kind of differing info (or same?) did you find? is it useful/not? why/not? did you get different info then say, a google search? What do you think of these SB sites? Personal and critical commentary is good.

NOTE: I didn’t post a blog comment this week.
