eMarketer recently published results of the 2010 Digital Marketing Outlook survey in which marketers reported their priorities for investment in the coming year. The top priority for 45.4% of senior marketers is social networks and applications, followed closely by digital infrastructure (44.5%).

TwitJobSearch reads every message coming off micro-blogging sites like Twitter and Google Buzz, analyzing them to see if they are job opening related and if so does research on the tweeter's profile to get location and other details.

Like it or not, people will judge you on Twitter based on your following/follower ratio. If that ratio is bad (following many, followed by few) which it is for many spammy network marketers, people will shun you and avoid following you without another thought.
