Skills.to – Promote Your Skills On Twitter

Skills.toPresented by Joshua Schachter (the man who created Delicious way back in 2003), Skills.to is a service that puts Twitter to a very good professional use. Basically, it lets Twitter users tell the world about these things they’re good at. People who take to this service can tag themselves with these skills they have, so that their Twitter contacts know what they could help them with if the time comes. And Skills.to also lets users tag their friends with endorsements for skills. In this way, everything’s a lot more transparent than it should be if people where just allowed to claim they can do just anything. This system of endorsements makes it easy to verify that people are really as skilled as they say they are. Endorsements are reflected numerically by the side of these skills people claim to have.

The site is free to join and use, and if you’ve already got a Twitter account then you can sign in right now and start marketing your skills. People who are not already part of your Twitter contacts will be able to learn about you by using the search tool that’s featured on the site.
