This, for successful applicants, turns into an interview (which is where I came in).

There is always one company willing to hire the not so top notch applicant because of budget.

Although not quite as simple as school’s fire drill, having a crisis plan serves the same purpose: to keep everyone in the company (including its reputation) safe. The "fire drill" idea seems like it would help many people and companies. Not everyone agrees with this… before it hits the fan, that is. Fire drills are important.

Why is anyone – a person, a company – embarking on social media? Start measuring. And if more folks did this, there would be fewer spammy DMs (or even @ replies)… which could, conceivably, lead to richer, actual , interactions. Is it simply to chit-chat?

Like anything else, lists - whether in Twitter or elsewhere - are just one measure of "who" one is. On the flip side, its possible that business decisions are made based on what list someone is or isnt on.
