Man gets job with one tweet

Not Hal Thomas, who landed a job with just one tweet:

As MSNBC and other Web sites have reported, Thomas stood out in the search by marketing company BFG Communications for a social media position. Applicants could apply with a single post on Twitter. BFG didn't want a resume or cover letter, just a tweet.
