NY Times<\/a>:<\/p>\n

WHEN Jessica H. Lawrence left her job with the Girl Scouts of San Gorgonio Council in Redlands, Calif., to pursue a new life in New York City, she arrived in late January without a job, an apartment or someone to keep her warm through the winter nights.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

But in less than six months, she found all three \u2014 and all because of Twitter.<\/p>\n

The job came after a friend\u2019s tweet inspired her to attend\u00a0NY Tech Meetup<\/a>, where she applied for a job and became the managing director.<\/p>\n

She found her apartment after sending a Twitter message to the founder of the Midnight Brunch supper club. That scored her an invitation and \u2014 after meeting the owners of the brownstone where the meal was held \u2014 the cellar apartment, too.<\/p>\n

As for the boyfriend, a founder of the\u00a0Noble Rot<\/a>\u00a0wine club, she discovered him when she began following the Rot\u2019s Twitter feed. Next week, they\u2019re moving into an apartment in Williamsburg.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo you can see why I have this undying love for\u00a0Twitter<\/a>,\u201d said Ms. Lawrence, 32. Yet her devotion to one social network is not an act of sentimentality \u2014 it\u2019s part of a careful strategy for combating social media burnout.\u00a0In a time when anyone with Internet access is expected to be engaged on multiple networking sites and keep a day job, Ms. Lawrence decided to focus on a singular site rather than to spread herself thin among a half-dozen.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This is why I LOVE Twitter. I’ve found every job through Twitter, every apartment and most of my friends. Twitter is open to serendipity. The article itself is great but, if you made me pick one service forever, it would be Twitter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NY Times: WHEN Jessica H.
