RecruiterGuy gets Hatemail!
Written by RecruiterGuy

It was bound to happen, I guess.  Sooner or later someone would send me an email that read to how much they hated me.  I thought I'd share this tramatic experience with you, my readers - all 5 of you (Hi Mom!)

RG,

I hate you.  You blog and twitter and upload pictures and I can't keep up. I'm now so consumed with finding out what you and the rest of the world is doing that I have managed to forget to tweet about my own breakfast. It seems that anywhere I read content that someone is linking to where they are somewhere else.

I can't keep going at this rate.  I'm blogging almost daily and have made two new networking contacts in the last month that I would never have known if it weren't for getting sucked into this vaccuum in which you disgustingly thrive.  I may even get a new job out of it. Stop the madness.

Sincerely,

Person that will remain anonymous.

P.S. - can you please forward me that link with the globe and all the live twits?

Okay - so in the spirit of hitting all of my hate mail head-on...  I'll address this.

Person that will remain anonymous,

Thanks for taking the time to write me and I'm sorry to hear of your challenges lately.  It's almost unforgiveable that you'd forget to tweet your breakfast details - it is possible that of your 22 followers on Twitter there is one that is sadly trying to stay Linked In to you and as a result is wearing out the refresh button on his/her browser just waiting for this detail.  You have a responsibility, sir! 

Now - it is evident to me that you need help managing your time better if you've only met two new networking contacts with the potential of new employment on the horizon.  Perhaps the following link that was tweeted to me by someone I'm following will help.  @Infosourcer sent a tweet this morning referencing Ten Ways Twitter Could Appeal to Joe Average.  Of course, she also sent a tweet sometime yesterday that listed just 5 neat toys to play with.  Those are here.  And I believe the globe you're referring to is Twittearth.  Incidentally, they are 'tweets' and not 'twits'...  well, most of the time.

Be glad that you're jumping on the bandwagon now, Person that will remain anonymous.  After all, you know it's inevitable that Google buy up Twitter and incorporate it into Gmail, Grand Central, Analytics, and more, right?  (doing my best here to start a rumor... pitch in, will ya'?)

Good luck to you, sir.
Sincerly,

RecruiterGuy

I can help but laugh...just thinking about someone "tweeting" breakfast!
LOL!
And how on earth is he getting job offers by simply being a part of some social network? Amazing. I need to get "out" more often I guess.... smilies/wink.gif

Not sure he got more than one - but I suspect it was related to more than just his tweeting...
Perhaps "Breakfast Tweeter" could be added to http://tinyurl.com/5x7wx4 ?
:-)

Thanks for stopping by, V.V. Don't be a stranger.

Oh please, if that's the worst hate mail you ever get ("You're just too good at this and I hate you for it!"), you've lived a blessed life.

Didn't say it was the "worst" ever... I did get one once that called my dog ugly... but that person mysteriously disappeared. :-)
