<p>According to the article "<em>Joshua Schachter and his team of star developers at TastyLabs</em>" designed a search engine that interfaces with your Twitter account. You add your own skills and endorse others that claim to be proficient with various other skills. I equate it to a miniature Linkedin (No offense intended if you read this Joshua).</p>

<div>Now the question is how do I use this for sourcing? The site is not boolean compatible which is not ideal, however you can x-ray this site using the skill you are looking for in conjunction with the "inurl:" command that will provide results of anyone that identified themselves with that particular skill. </div>
<div><div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"/><br/></div>
<div>Search: site:skills.to/skill programming </div>
<p>Results: <a href="http://goo.gl/HtcYt" target="_blank">http://goo.gl/HtcYt</a></p>
<p></p>
</div>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>Here is another search I ran for "recruiting" within the site itself. The search results will produce the skill you are searching for and anyone that has the keyword in their Twitter handle.</p>
<p></p>

<p><strong>Why I like it</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>It's clever: Turns your Twitter account into a searchable skills database</li>
<li>easy to build a consistent network of who to follow identified by skills</li>
<li>keyword search will produce skills indicated by user or in the name of the Twitter handle </li>
<li>endorsement ability</li>
<li>another site that increases your online visibility</li>
<li>possible tool for pipe line creation.</li>
<li>x-ray capable </li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Possible Roadblocks </strong></p>
<ul>
<li>no clear location based results- you would have to look them up elsewhere to identify location or add it to your keywords</li>
<li>not boolean compatible</li>
</ul>
<div><span><br/></span></div>
<div><div>Overall, this site looks like it has potential as it grows for networking and sourcing, but time will tell. The creator said the core idea behind the site is a <em>"Search engine for people by property of the person," he says. "Portable reputation someday." </em> Definitely interesting and something to keep an eye on if Twitter doesn't try to buy them out first. </div>

<p>Life is not boring if you are a sourcer or a recruiter and use LinkedIn; most of us do. Here is a brief list of several major recent changes on LinkedIn that affect our work for sure. Please feel free to add to this in the comments.</p>
<ul>
<li><em>Company search</em>. We have many "facets" to search for available in the newly implemented dialog; that's great. The search algorithm implementation is quite "<em>interesting</em>" though. If someone at a company has a keyword…</li>

<p>Life is not boring if you are a sourcer or a recruiter and use LinkedIn; most of us do. Here is a brief list of several major recent changes on LinkedIn that affect our work for sure. Please feel free to add to this in the comments.</p>
<ul>
<li><em>Company search</em>. We have many "facets" to search for available in the newly implemented dialog; that's great. The search algorithm implementation is quite "<em>interesting</em>" though. If someone at a company has a keyword on their profile, the whole company will be included in search results. Expect to see member's and company's profiles that show up in your search that have little to do with your keyword.</li>
<li><em>Job posts</em> on groups have been renamed to "<em>career discussions</em>" and are now hidden under a link that is not obvious for a group visitor. The Jobs Tab on Groups is now taken over by paid LinkedIn job posts and is searcheable. The "career discussions" remain without a search function.</li>
<li><em>Company Profiles </em>have rich information available for adding in the products and services section; it now can even include video. That's good news! (Still on my to-do list for <a target="_parent" href="http://www.braingainrecruiting.com/">Brain Gain Recruiting</a>).</li>
<li><em>Public profile</em> settings have been moved from "account settings" to very near "editing profile" function and are likely to be quickly discovered by anyone who edits their profile. Most members are likely to make it more shallow, I think.</li>
<li><em>Skills </em>have become a part of everyone's profile and that is good news. Search for skills is separate from people search (why?). "Skills" also made it to public profiles. Very small % of LinkedIn members have filled them out so far - and you should!</li>
<li><em>Messaging on Groups</em> is still there but you have to dig deep to discover it: the search results of fellow group members now show only the "Send InMail" option.<em> In general, if you don't see an option previously available, don't panic right away (I have to admit that <a title="X-ray" href="http://booleanstrings.wordpress.com/2011/03/07/x-raying-linkedin-may-be-coming-to-an-end/">I did</a> recently myself); it may be hidden somewhere on the site. </em>Of course, most of us see the tendecies and expect certain featues to be diminishing in the near future.</li>
<li><em>Sharing </em>is now possible not just on your status line, within groups and with connections; you can enter any email address to share a link with. Not bad! Just needs a little debugging.</li>
</ul>
<div><p>This is not an exhaustive list by any means.</p>
<p>What are your predictions as to what is going to change in the near and far future?</p>

1. If you want to only find profiles for people from the UK in LinkedIn, searching from Google, what would be the best search string?<br />
Hint: use the <i>site:</i> operator.<br />
<br />
2. Some people include the symbol <b>@</b> in their searches for email addresses on Google. If you use the symbol <b>@</b> in your search string on Google and then use the same string but change <b>@</b> to <b>?</b>, will the results be different?<br />
<br />
Hint: try several examples. Make sure the number of results is under 1,000 for…

2. Some people include the symbol <b>@</b> in their searches for email addresses on Google. If you use the symbol <b>@</b> in your search string on Google and then use the same string but change <b>@</b> to <b>?</b>, will the results be different?<br />
<br />
Hint: try several examples. Make sure the number of results is under 1,000 for accuracy of your testing.<br />
<br />
Bonus: the same question but substitute <b>@</b> for <b>$</b><br />
<br />
3. If you search on Google using the word <i>manager</i> as part of your string and then use <i>–manager</i> thus excluding the results with the word; could it be that some web pages come up in both searches?<br />
<br />
Hint: this is a tricky question. Try searching for <i>manager</i> and see what comes up.<br />
<br />
4. If someone invites you on LinkedIn, you accept the invitation and later on you wonder how many connection the person has, is there a way to find out?<br />
<br />
Hint: try doing this for someone who has recently invited you<br />
<br />
5. How many results max would you see when you search for:<br />
<br />
1) people on LinkedIn using the people search<br />
2) people in a LI group<br />
3) something on Google<br />
4) something on Bing<br />
5) something on Yahoo<br />
(or <i>is</i> there a limit for some of these?)<br />
<br />
6. Can you use the operator NOT (capitalized) on<br />
1) Google<br />
2) Bing<br />
<br />
Hint: try using it and see what happens; check the help sections<br />
<br />
7. If you are a member of LinkedIn, in which searches can you use the Boolean operators AND OR NOT?<br />
<br />
8. On the twitter home page, there’s a search box. What string(s) would you use in this box to find recent tweets about recruiting in the UK that contain links?<br />
<br />
9. Suggest a search string on Google to find the ultimate answer to the Universe - without clicking on the results!<br />
<br />
10. (optional but will help you to win in case there’s a tie)<br />
Please post a short article to share your recent sourcing experience or to ask a web sourcing-related question.<div><br/></div>

Here are 3 major things that happened about a week ago and will have a major impact on searching and sourcing:<br />
<br />
1) Google adds real time search (so has Bing)<br />
2) Google personalizes results for all (including logged-out users)<br />
3) Facebook changes privacy settings, encourages all to have some info "public"<br />
<br />
How do you think it will impact our industry? What are some other notable things?
