Search Resumes Using Google

No GravatarOooh, someone’s a clever cat. I was thumbing through Google Analytics today (like I do every day), and I was looking at what keywords people were using to find my site. I came across an interesting one:"social media" "search engine optimization" (inurl:resume | intitle:resume)
Either someone is researching competition, or there’s someone looking to hire people for a job they could do themselves. My guess is the former. Whoever you were, good job!

I bet you could do a search like, "lead developer" (inurl:resume | intitle:resume) and get some pretty tasty results. Or, perhaps someone wants to develop a custom search engine that utilizes Google to find highly ranked resumes? There’s some nice and crunchy ideas.

Understanding Communities, Still Valid?

No GravatarI was just reviewing some of my older starred posts in Google Reader, and I came across a great post from ShoeMoney about Understanding Communities. Pam outlines some great approaches to the whole social media market, and how to understand and utilize the communities on which they are build.

Oldie but goodie! Does anyone have any feedback on how relevant this four month old post is? I for one, totally support the ideas that she came up with for usability. I don’t think usability will ever become a non-issue, personally. SEO is huge, but as we’ve always hammered home - your visitors come first.
