Why are the people in the industry who have not heard of Stackoverflow, jQuery, Twitter, Csla, DntTV etc?
Being a passionate developer I'm sometimes amazing when people in the industry have not heard about key technologies / news stories / new sites / Development Podcasts etc. 

Does not reading RSS feeds, listening to podcasts, following key Twitter users indicate that a person is not passionate about their occupation and therefore not the best that they can be. Would you hire such a person?
