Holy crap, it’s been exactly 100 days since my last post. Wowzer. Things have been busy, which is good and bad I guess. So real quick here, I wanted to give my perspective on Google Buzz, and why I like it from a recruitment perspective. Social media, blah blah blah. Sick of hearing about it, [...]
