I haven’t published an “on the move in the social media space” in a while, in fact nearly 2 months. Why? Things really slowed down, and I received far less submissions, the recession is taking it’s toll.
Despite there being many layoffs in the startup space. I’ve started this post series (see archives) to recognize and congratulate folks who get promoted, move, or accept new exciting positions. Please help me congratulate the following folks:
Dirk Shaw (He’s on Twitter) full time role as a Social Media Strategist for Vignette a few weeks ago, he’ll be focused on the use of “social networking applications to enhance customer communications, foster company-oriented dialogue and further Vignette’s presence in the online community”. He was recently interviewed by CMS wire David B Thomas has started at the start of this year as the social media manager for SAS, the business analytics software company. He will be devoted full time to social media and primarily inward-focused on developing our strategy but also focused outwardly, helping departments at SAS use social media for outreach. Catch him on linkedin as well as twitter. Chris Allison just got hired as a blogger for NeboWeb interactive marketing agency, and will be working on web projects on behalf of the agency. Natalie Villalobos (Twitter) is now the Signtific Community Manager, before she was at Digg and Yahoo! as Assistant Community Manager. She has a B.A. in History from Sonoma State University which was completed abroad at the University of Hull in England. Laura “Pistachio” Fitton moves closer with SHIFT communications in Boston. To be clear, she’s not working for SHIFT and this will be a symbiotic office sharing relationship. Here’s what SHIFT’s Todd Defren had to say.
How to connect with others (or get a job):
Several people have been hired because of this blog post series, here’s how:

I’m seeking folks that are related to full time hands on social media strategy and community managers, to be on this list, so let me know if you see these folks, and please submit them –try to include links to announcements on blogs or on the wire.
