Best Buy requiring job applicants to have 250 Twitter followers
US stack ‘em high, sell e’m cheap tech mega store Best Buy recently put out a job ad with a difference. Applicants for the role of “senior manager – emerging media marketing” were required to have two years plus of mobile media experience, one year plus of blogging experience, a bachelors degree and 250 Twitter followers. Before you start applying – popular web 2.0 people that you are – the position has already been filled, but it’s certainly a very interesting ask in this day and age. For a senior social media manager, I’d say it was probably a far enough demonstration of an experience and understanding of the most important social app of the moment. Besides, the head honcho of Best Buy, Brian Dunn, has 1,679 followers himself. Even if you’re not in marketing – if, perhaps, a journalist – then one might consider it equally important. It’s rather like a contacts list. Essentially, how many eyes can you attract to whatever it is that you do. How many people can you draw to the work that your company does? So, is this something that we’re going to start putting on our CVs? Is that how people should be viewing Twitter? What do you reckon? Let me know in the comments below. You can also boast about how many followers you do/do not have. (via Brand Republic)

Five Reasons to Switch to Direct TV Satellite
100% Hi Definition Service.
If you’re a cable TV subscriber, your service provider most likely carries around 20 to 50 channels in HD. But if you have access to satellite TV, chances are you’re enjoying up to 100 channels that have nice crisp pictures and flawless reception.
Currently, not even the largest cable companies such as Comcast, Time Warner, Brighthouse, Cox and Charter Cable can match up to DirecTV’s 130+ channels you can watch on HD. By the end of the year, DirecTV projects satellite TV subscribers will be watching up to150 channels in HD. Put that HDTV to good use and maximize your viewing experience through satellite TV!
Pay Less, Watch More.
The pro-con list could go on and satellite would still emerge superior to its cable counterpart. However, it all boils down to this: You get to see more for a price that won’t burn holes in your pocket. With satellite, you get more features, more movies, more music, more cartoons, more sports, more HD! You will be getting more of almost everything each month. Great sports programming like the NBA League Pass are also available for an extra charge. What more could you ask for?
Free Set-up.
Most cable providers charge you up to $100 for sending out a technician to gear up your television sets. Satellite TV providers Dish Network and DirecTV offer free installation and setup for your convenience. You no longer have to worry about reading the fine print or fees that cable companies (over)charge one time or monthly.
Multi-media Experience.
Radio on Your Television?! The limits of media are once again broken, but in a good way. Subscription to Dish Network gives you access to Sirius Satellite, so you can listen to great music all day long once you’re tired of watching tv.
Family Friendly Packages.
With your current cable subscription you get basic packages with channels picked for you. However, satellite TV services from Dish Network and DirecTV program packages that will cater to all members of the family. Everyone should be able to enjoy viewing without worrying what they young ones are seeing. These satellite packages ensure that children access age-appropriate as well as educational shows.
Comparing your local cable company, such as Direct TV vs Comcast might save you some money. Switch now to a great Direct TV deal if you don’t want to regret missing out on anything.
