About a month ago, I wrote about my five social media predictions for 2010. Based on the comments the piece received, I’ve updated it and Talent Zoo published it this morning.

Social media and careers are covered by prediction #6:

“In 2009 we saw a couple of interesting surveys by respected organizations indicating that recruiters are increasingly using or planning to use social media to find and investigate talent. They search social network profiles on Facebook, Twitter, etc.; read blog content; and generally look at every available piece of candidate information found online. (Social media search is a great way for companies to find information on candidates that they could not legally request directly from the candidate, but which is out on the Web for the taking.)…”

This is more a look at trends to watch than it is a Nostradamus-style glimpse into the distant future. 2010 is about two weeks away after all. I hope you’ll check out the rest of the piece on Talent Zoo.

And my seventh prediction is that 2010 will be a good year for you.
