If they are, someone may be talking about you.
Jobster's done some very cool stuff of-late, to which I give a respectful hat-tip.
Seriously, way to go. Jason, your web-development chefs need to be given a month's vacation in Fiji.
Along with job-trends and a seriously-cool tagging system where a user can tag themself and others can tag them, too, I am currently tripping over a cool set of question-and-answer tools that just beg you reveal the inside sauce of the location in which you work(ed).
Then, you can aggregate those comments in web 2.0 coolness via RSS, slash them up by user, or mash them up by tag.
Wonder if someone's talking about your company? Check it out. or see how it works.
I haven't explored everything they're doing, but some things I wonder:
- Can people "rate" or tag other people in a way to help them boost (or lose) a community score or something else relative to certain skills?
For example, I would love to know if 15 programmers from different companies all seem to tag the same person with an "excellent" rating as a project-manager--that tells me (as a recruiter) the person isn't bluffing on their resume with the title "proven project manager, excellent results" - If people can give "references" about a person, too. That'd be cool.
- I'd like to see a way for people to connect to other people they know--not a "connection" alone, but with meta-data. I worked for this person, but that person worked for me... etc
- Hmmmm.... more to think about...
