Tweet yourself a new job

Getting a job has never been particularly easy, unless you're Bill Clinton, in which case the difficulty lies in getting out of the job. Now, let the Twitterati help get you into (an) office, with WorkFu.

From a South East dev team, Fu helps you navigate the roughly "400 jobs posted on Twitter every minute" via a web app that'll scour them, sort them by relevance, and even let you "apply with one click", hopefully for a high-paying position that involves about that same level of brain power and activity.

To get gainful, just punch in your Tweet-deets, and it'll scan your profile for networks, connections, links, etc., then spit out a bunch of keywords ("Technology", "Medicine", "Freelance"...) that you can add/subtract to best define what you're looking for, though if you're using this tool, "micro-blogging" can probably be assumed.

Once you're happy, it'll rank each listing by means of a "FuScore" based on how well it matches your interests, and how connected you are to the poster, so hopefully you won't have to rely on 140 character references.

At the moment it's solely Twitter-focused, but as it progresses they'll add more social networking sites, though they claim to be quite picky in that regard, and so will only go for ones with unimpeachable credentials.
