			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In an industry full of earnest nerds, Twitter hopes workplace humor is a selling point. The company (which is earnest and nerdy too, of course) released a tongue-in-cheek recruiting video tonight.</p>
<p>&#8220;<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vccZkELgEsU">At Twitter, The Future is You</a>!&#8221; is described as an internal Hackweek project to &#8220;make the best/worst recruiting video of all time.&#8221; It does indeed manage to be both laugh-worthy and cringe-worthy. (Bonus: Watch Twitter CEO Dick Costolo try to keep a straight face.)</p>
<p>By the way, this isn&#8217;t Twitter&#8217;s first witty recruiting video, though <a href="http://youtu.be/wU6epAkC9wg">one from two years ago</a> was more &#8220;Rushmore&#8221; where this is more &#8220;Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!&#8221;</p>
