I suspect #tweetmyjobs is trending simply because TweetMyJobs' many accounts hashtag it to every post they make. Their posts are automatically-generated got-to-fit-in-140 gobbledygook, and several of their accounts that I checked have been suspended presumably for their repetitive nonsense content. It looks like a developed-by-the-lowest-bidder infrastructure designed by people who haven't really thought things through (you're expected to register an account in order to see the list of Twitter accounts? And can only browse job descriptions by visiting those Twitter accounts and then clicking a shortlink that then links back to the site?). TweetMyJobs is, as far as I can tell, a mess. They're getting publicity only because their hashtag hit some Twitter mindshare event horizon and gave people something to talk about without needing to investigate too much on their own.
So, uh, I appreciate that you're focusing on making yours more useful. Long-term approval usually comes from products made with care.
While searching for a job, I physically am usually limited to a few applicable dimensions (physical location, field, experience range). If I could tailor the experience on Twhired to target those dimensions then it would make my interactions much more effective. A focus on mining or transcribing accurate location and field metadata plus an interface for drilling down based on those would be a good way to fit my needs as a user.
Trying to make the trending list by spamming didn't occur to me before. Interesting thought, although personally I never look at the trending topics. But I guess we'll see more of that spam approach in the future.
