    • Just to emphasize an earlier point, it's critical to let a large number of people know that you are currently in the market for a new position. In the race between quality of contacts vs. quantity, it's good to remember that "quantity has a quality all its own."

      One more tip: most job search engines used by potential employers will show more recent resumes ahead of older ones. That means that you should be updating your resume pretty darned frequently to show up as a "recent" resume. What isn't widely disclosed is that the tiniest of changes to your resume often counts toward recency. I used to add a blank character at the end of a sentence on odd-numbered days and delete it again on even-numbered days. It seems silly, but it resulted in 40% more views- pretty impressive for 2 minutes worth of work a day!
    • Congrats on the move to Altimeter, Jeremiah! See you in 1.5 weeks at the NPR digital summit.
    • Etienne Wenger, John Smith and I FINALLY self published "Digital Habitats: stewarding technology for community" which puts a stake in the ground about the importance of paying attention to the selection, implementation and use of social media to support a community.

    • Robin thanks for the submission, I'll fold that into the next update
    • Hi, and thanks for including me - I'd meant to let you know about the move for a while!

      Funny to see Robin mention Simon Collister's new role, as we often share the commute to work!
    • Hey Jeremiah - one for your next update - Simon Collister, formerly Head of Digital at Weber Shandwick has joined We Are Social to head up our public sector and not-for-profit work:
