Are you using Twitter to find writing gigs?

I did a podcast on using Twitter to get writing jobs.

Here’s a Macworld article Macworld | Eight ways Twitter will change your life which reports on Twitter:

“It can help people seeking work as well. Stephanie Martin’s quest for a job started with searching Twitter for people in her field (public relations) and in her target market (Phoenix). She began following the head of PR for her alma mater, Northern Arizona University. Soon she was following–and being followed by–some of the top PR agencies in the area, and then flying to Phoenix for interviews. ‘The hardest part was explaining how I knew the person who’d arranged the interviews,’ Martin says. ‘Because I’d never met or spoken to him; we just tweeted.’”
