Update: Some people have argued that this test doesn’t properly measure the Internet marketing skills of the candidates. Well, I couldn’t agree more. This test is more about resourcefulness than Internet marketing. In fact, as I mentioned to the candidates over the weekend “Initially, our main sources of traffic will be search engine optimization and our referral program. Other efforts, like PR and PPC, may also help, but I wouldn’t bet too much on them.” – As you can see, I didn’t even mention Twitter there.

Hi There:
Stopped twitting for @haja_sol last evening and had no time to get back to it.
I do love twitter, but see more as a long distance running than a 110 metres hurdles sprint… I belive twitter is about building relations and, besides the number followers, mentions and retweets should be considered as an essencial part of it.
Test 3 should be comming at any moment, hope it won’t gets as “time consuming” as the previous ones
