That highlighting the keywords that brought me here is pretty cool. Now how the heck do I turn it off? Kind of hard to read this article with all these little colored blocks all over it. Didn’t get past the first paragraph.

I’m glad you found a job this way. There is a great rule in the world, if you let people you know you have a need, you are never alone. You build a relationship in place of a secret. I just made that rule up, however I bet you already knew it.

Congratulations – I am inspired.
It’s hard to make oneself stand out in this market and Twitter at least narrows the field. I’ve seen a couple job postings on Twitter recently that I haven’t seen anywhere else. I think there’s a window of opportunity here for those of us willing to give in to the lure and the joy of Twitter.

Cam,
That’s an interesting connection, and I think that it is spot on. The 140 character limit is one of the awesome things about Twitter, too. I love the idea of freedom from constraints.

The way you describe your use of Twitter to speak with like-minded people interested in improving their craft reminds me of Ben Franklin’s Junto society.
From Wikipedia:
“The Junto was a club established in 1727 by Benjamin Franklin for mutual improvement in Philadelphia. Also known as the Leather Apron Club, its purpose was to debate questions of morals, politics, and natural philosophy, and to exchange knowledge of business affairs.”
The 140 character limit is a huge restriction to get the sorts of depth you need to really focus and challenge issues, but with hyperlinking, in some ways it is liberating, as it allows you to control the amount of depth you explore a topic.

Great success story!
Our company develops our apps in Ruby too, which makes this story even more interesting to me. There is a philosophy that drives most Ruby developers and “Imagination. Function. Beauty.” captures it very well.

Thanks for all the congrats! It was fun thinking back on how it all came together and how simple software like Twitter was the key.
As Twitter becomes more popular, I do think it will become more of a tool for finding even “normal” jobs.

Is there any hope of finding normal job?
Anyway, I wish you alot of success in your new job

My friend David Griner told me a few months ago that Twitter is networking as people, inside of job titles. He’s exactly right, it’s such a wonderfully laid-back way to meet and connect with other people. Congrats on your new gig, Kevin!

Great post! I love reading social media success stories. And, you’re absolutely right… you never know who is watching. It’s OK to be yourself, as long as you keep it professional.
Congratulations on the new job!
