Looks like Kids Don't Hate Twitter Anymore!

For the past week or so, the country has been obsessed with the theory that kids hate Twitter. Well now comScore tells us that kids used to hate Twitter, but they don't anymore.

While Twitter's user base historically favored older users, people between ages 12-24 have been Twitter's fastest growing age group of late. And now that age group is actually disproportionately visiting Twitter, according to comScore.

(...) In summary, if comScore's stats are accurate, people between ages 12-24 are using Twitter, and a lot more are using it now than before.

Interesting new trend. I'm really curious to see how this is going to evolve in the upcoming months.

Standard cv/resume file format

1809793160_fd97d4b8db_b

I'll graduate in less than a month so I have to start looking for a job. I subscribed to different websites, services and cv databases and one thing really struck me: it takes ages to fill in all these forms everytime you want to register. I have my resume in Word, PDF and HTML format but (most) of these websites can't import it. So, everytime I register I have to manually add my studies information, my previous jobs and internships, etc. 

It would be so easy if I could make one standard resume file that could be automatically imported, don't you think!?

Le BruTwestival est de retour et a besoin de vous!

Media_httpwwwmonkeywa_iklht

Twitter gagne de plus en plus en couverture médiatique, et c'est l'occasion d'en profiter! Le Brussels Twestival est de retour, et cette fois-ci c'est pour défendre une oeuvre caritative ou une cause locale. Pour rappel, l'édition précédente visait à conscientiser les gens autour du problème de l'eau potable.

Twestival is a party that brings the social media community together to raise money for charity. It's a great night with bands, DJs and demostrations of new ideas.

From 12 August to 12 September, people can vote on which charity projects should benefit from the funds raised. The recipients of the funding will be announced on the night.

En pratique, ça se passe le 12 septembre 2009 au Addictlab (à Bruxelles), et les tickets sont en vente via le site du Twestival. Pour plus d'information n'hésitez pas à consulter régulièrement le site ou à suivre @brutwestival sur Twitter.

ATTENTION: nous sommes encore à la recherche de sponsors, de couverture médiatique et d'oeuvres caritatives! Si vous pensez pouvoir aider, n'hésitez-pas à contacter Christian De Neef (@cdn).
