Nice job Brian! Just another way people are blogging for jobs.

No, stories like this are not encouraging because they are so rare. I've been asked by journalists to supply examples of people who get jobs via their blogs. This is like # 3 that I'm aware of.
Now, a number of businesses, including headhunters, seem to find clients via their blogs but if we're talking about real "jobs" as opposed to engagements, there are very very few examples of this that I am aware of.
PS: I still owe you 20 bucks.
