   King Midas in reverse – with apologies to The Hollies.

   • At least LinkedIn has an obvious revenue stream. Given the amount of recruiters who use it to message me, I guess they are getting a fair bit of money…

     • I get many recruitment contacts from LinkedIn – despite changing my status to “retired”. Some of the positions are very far removed from my skill set. Machine-gun approach?

2. The end is undoubtedly nigh.

3. Doesn’t Twitter run ads? Not being a member of the “Twitterati” I wouldn’t know. But if it doesn’t, it should. It seems that the world and his wife are all Tweeters, so I’d think they could make a mint on advert space …

4. I say again – It’s not called Twatter for nothing.
