Finding Resumes with Social Networking on Social Networks
 
Yes it's been a while since I posted, but be rest assured I have a lot of great content coming soon!
 
Currently Top 10 Social Networking Sites
(Source: Nielsen Online, ranked by Unique Audience, December 2007. U.S., Home and Work) - and Amy Beth's blog :)

 

MySpace (2007) 60,104,000 (2006) 55,256,000

Facebook (2007) 22,574,000 (2006) 13,110,000

Classmates Online (2007) 10,748,000 (2006) 11,406,000

Windows Live Spaces (2007) 8,856,000 (2006) 8,703,000

AOL Hometown (2007) 6,853,000 (2006) 9,032,000

Flixster (2007) 3,097,000 (2006) 744,000

A few Sourcing tips from them:

 

Your most valuable sourcing method is Site: So ………..

 

For AOL Hometowns use the Site:hometown.aol.com

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=site%3Ahometown.aol.com+resume

 

Same for Windows Live: Site:spaces.live.com (add info

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=site%3Aspaces.Live.com+resume

 

LinkedIN: Site:linkedin.com

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=1&q=site%3Alinkedin.com+information+architect&spell=1

 

It is better if you build the string in altavista (advanced) as opposed to google.

 

Happy Hunting :)
