The latest tool that job hunters can use to find openings is called JobDeck, a new product from TwitJobSearch and TweetDeck, a desktop Twitter application.

She ends up spending £150 000 on the campaign which succeeds in embarassing the Obama advisor, who also happens to be a director of Oracle Corporation.
