Emboldened by a few glasses of wine one Saturday night, Tara Hunt ranted on Twitter about her frustrations with San Francisco’s dating scene. She soon regretted it.<\/p>\n
At work a couple of days later, her venting was topic No. 1 in the boardroom at Intuit, where Hunt works in marketing. Her colleagues had read the message and, to her embarrassment, chimed in about her love life.<\/p>\n
“For those who don’t know me well, it might leave the wrong impression of who I am,” said Hunt, who is a fixture on the Silicon Valley startup scene.<\/p>\n
