The theme was how LL.M. students can best navigate this (not so new) virtual environment for job-hunting purposes.
I have two twitter account.
My @dennisjansen account is for friends, news feeds, and celebrities that I follow closely. It also updates my facebook status, so my tweets are less frequent.
I update my @dennisjansen more frequently, add people more freely, and use the account to interact without cluttering up my friend’s facebook feeds.

Needless to say, I have to wade through a lot of crap on the @dennisjansen account.
The point of the @dennisjansen account is not the amount of followers, but the ability to interact/network with more people. All off these marketing, news-aggregating, all around crappy twitterers are cluttering my feed, and some weeding is in order.
I’m going on an unadd campaign!
