Interesting and I agree with you. We are basing a book on the premise that social media is indeed a powerful tool in the job hunt – and we back up our research with extensive input from more than 35 Fortune 500 hiring professionals. The Web 2.0 Job Finder will be out in the spring. Thanks for sharing your ideas.

I agree. I understand it's an opinion piece, however, the author draws some bold conclusions based off incomplete research. It's worse when there is hard, well-researched data out there that actually proves the opposite point very well. I would have been less upset if they didn't censor my comment.

I agree. The author realized social media was a hot topic so wrote a somewhat sensational post. She made a powerful conclusion to grab readers–social media is not effective– even though it was based off loose research. To me, that's just plain unprofessional, but I do understand the motive behind it.

Sometimes reporters try to cover the lack of a story by conjuring false insights and feigning disappointment and shock at less than perfect results. I wouldn't take the article seriously. I agree with you that social media is still very new. The traditional methods are still effective because they have been around long enough to become “traditional.” It's habit. I think a good grasp of social media and its rules is important.
