Are you a fantastic SEO or Java Dev?
In these days of social networking and graphs and patterns and things, what’s the best way to connect with great people? Well, I’ve twittered, I’ve Facebooked, I’ve LinkedIned (that can’t possibly be a verb, right?) but it told me something about how I’m limited to sending messages to a maximum of 200 people and then was making me manually add each contact to the message so I gave up. I’ve even sent a few actual personal emails. I haven’t tried talking to anyone in person, but is that even still done these days? Surely IM has replaced voice exchange by now?
Anyway, I am now trying the blogging method of personal contact as a great social experiment. I’ll report back later on which method yielded me the best results.
There’s this awesome real estate site based out of Seattle you may have heard of, zillow.com, that is looking for a great in-house SEO to help guide strategy and implementation. If that sounds like you, email me. And if you’re a a great Java dev looking for a full-time position in either Seattle or San Francisco, or looking for a contracting gig from anywhere, also email me. Or, you know, Facebook me or er, LinkedIn me. Or something. I’m pretty easy to find. vanessa at vanessafoxnude dot com.
How do you make contact with people these days? The other day, someone tracked me down by sending me a Flickr message. And I’ve gotten Facebook messages as responses to my Twitters. And Twitters as a response to my Facebook status. And text message seems to be pretty reliable. What’s the most random way you’ve been talking to people?
I thought you were the awesome SEO giving Zillow all the Googly secrets?
I have not signed on to Facebook, Twitter or the rest, haven’t even checked LinkIn in months. This is why I enjoy reading your blog, you can do it all and tell us “antisocial” types what’s up, know what I’m sayin’?
Yeah Boiy! Er Girl! =P
Dude. I’m busy!
But yes, I am happy to experience the pain of social networking so you don’t have to.
I just went through complete social network breakdown. Just like you said, I email someone and they reply in a Flickr message etc. It’s overload and overkill. Email after all is a lot more functional than most other messaging means, I like it, it’s enough for me. I just sent out one email telling everyone look, I have a blog, it’s the only place to find me anymore and no you don’t have to join anything to follow it. I would love some good old fashioned voice exchange.
SearchCap: The Day In Search, October 12, 2007…
Below is what happened in search today, as reported on Search Engine Land and from other places across the web…….
too many access points. I can’t even keep track anymore. I miss alot of stuff just cuz I’ll forget to login to facebook for a week. I know…how could anybody forget to login to facebook?
Hey Vanessa
If I wasn’t so booked solid I’d love to take on the zillow project.
Good luck with your search and tell Rand and everyone I said hi!
Hi Vanessa, finding a good SEO is like finding another Google stock to invest in; kinda like nude pictures on your blog, not likely. If you’d like to hear my formula for getting Zillow.com an SEO, send me an email so we can chat. Best regards - Paul
Thanks Clint!
Paul, there’s lots of good SEOs out there!
I often comment on blog posts and then forget to look back and see if there was further conversation… errr, I often forget which blog it even was.
Forums gather all the conversations in to one easily accessible place, with full searchability. Blogs scatter everything to the winds, where they disappear into a void.
well if zillow was in london id be interested in the seo gig (SEO for estate agents sucks in the uk) I suspect that geting sponsorship for a green card Is hard thease days esp without a degree
