I believe 72K POSTS were transitioned to Wordpress, not 72K individual blogs. [1] Replicating posts to a different platform does not mean users are defecting. Many are just planning ahead in case of any issues. [1] http://ma.tt/2013/05/yah

I wish more recruiters actually used LinkedIn. I moved from NY almost two years ago, and I still get calls/emails for NY based positions. A quick glance at my LinkedIn profile will clearly show that I do not live in NY anymore. There is no

Reminds me of my experiences with JetBlue. After every successful flight, they would send me a survey. After every bad flight (and there have been a few very bad ones), no survey.
