Twitter for Swine Flu

Twitter

I’ve been using twitter for some time now.  I use #michaelaconley to keep up with things that I care about, health, technology, social media etc.  We use #hpcareernet as a marketing tool, #hpcareernetjobs to give candidates another way to learn about whose hiring.  Jennie, our Manager of Online Communications uses #recipe4success to pass along tips to new professionals and HPCareerNetwork community announcements such as our weekly Live Lunch & Learn events.  Even our International community IDWellness has it’s own Twitter account to help our members around the world keep up with each other.

What does Carlos Mencia have to do with a free e-letter?

I’m sure irreverent comedian Carlos Mencia was trying out material doing three back-to-back shows at our local comedy club last night in Omaha. If it plays in the Heartland, it’ll play anywhere, right? But what a treat and what a lesson.
