as i’m sure you’re aware, America’s Job Bank and several other sites have allowed free job listings for quite some time… i don’t think that’s the news angle here.

more interesting will be 1) whether they can eat into long-tail market share from craigslist / ebay / others, and 2) will they allow others to do anything with the data — crawl it, index it, build apps on top of it, mash it up, use it as a floor wax or dessert topping, etc.

as their product manager titled the blog post announcement, seems like they’re only on first base right now. heavy petting is probably still a bit further off, so you might want to ease up on the heavy breathing ;)
