There are two sides to every coin.

OS peppers me about Monster and TMP. His IP address is in Boston (Monster HQ). If he’s connected to Monster - which I have to assume - I have no interest in a dialogue with him via a pseudonym.

As far as I’m concerned, he’s the one with the big head if he thinks he’s important enough to be anonymous.

Now he’s trying to plant a seed that my eBay auction is somehow flawed or fixed? Give me a break. Go away. Life’s too short.

If you don’t like the show, change the channel.

Funny, I would think Joel would maybe thank those folks that engage in dialog on his blog.

I think his ego is getting to big for his head.

Also funny how the bidders on his Ebay auction are all annonymous………hmmmm.

If someone challenges you, simply ignoring them because the post is anonymous damages your credibility in a big way, Joel.

There’s nothing wrong with being wrong or acknowledging a difference in opinion. There are lots of other experts in both SEO and HR/Recruiting… I’m one, a VP for 10 years at a major board.

Hell, Ann Landers, talk radio, 99% of blogs and forums online… all anonymous.

It has been nice chatting……..but I think I have shared with you and Jason at Jobster that I am NOT in a position to say my name or company affiliation.

I do enjoy your blog, and Jobsters as well.

However, on 2 occasions(SEO-why do it yourself when you can benefit from Monster)(now this) where I question your logic, you go to “not without a name”, come on….

Does it matter who I am?

I’ll read and hold off from posting.

Cheers.

Joel-not sure your point……….for the longest time Looksmart’s career section was fueled by Careerbuilder as the lead and some third tier players (net-temps) in co-branding type relationships.

It now looks like the content is paid for and provided by a multitude of sources. Do different key word searches and major boards pop up, staffing companies and training companies (isn’t that what you advocate?)

Not sure your real point?

What value would their end users get from an aggregator?

In some posts you hammer these guys, others you atta boy em, what is it?
