My intuition is that this is why when Twitter initially took off (around the time of SxSW in 2007) it was an open “publish to the world” platform and the trend continued. Businesses online are able to monitor the conversations that happen about their company, their competitors and their industry like they have never before been able to.

My company, TechEmpower , recently added a few top notch developers, but it wasn’t easy to find just the right people. I wouldn’t say it’s 1999 or even 2007, but it certainly has turned around. I’m seeing and hearing that it’s becoming tough finding good developers again, at least here in Los Angeles.
