Twitter Job Seeker Profile, Home Page

The complete, basic profile look. Prepare to Tweet!

14

WGC Professional Business Profile Example

Note: Many people ask about having a Twitter “custom background.”Reality, unless you are a designer or programmer, do not bother orspend money having one of these custom backgrounds created.Typically, the user cannot view the custom page because of Twitter’scontinued changes to the format and layout.Keep it simple with a basic Twitter user profile.

Seesmic Tweet Stream Platformhttp://www.seesmic.com

Seesmic is a little more robust than TweetDeck in terms of streamedcontent. If you are not a full scale Social Media Marketing or tools user,this platform might be a little overwhelming than you want. Seesmicallows the user to populate Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn feeds as wellas CheckIn streams like FourSquare or Gowalla.Pretty much anything that is online and has a social media or RSS feedis game.
