Word on the street is Microsoft is expected to jump into the game of online classifieds soon via their new Windows Live solution.
From someone who has seen screenshots of the new service, the solution is pretty straight forward and encompasses the traditional classified advertising categories (jobs included, I’m sure).
One twist is that it incorporates some community aspects, which apparently will make it more dynamic and viral.
The new service is expected to give MSN an "immediate presence" in the market.
The question I have is Will MSN go with scraping job content (SimplyHired), having organizations do it themselves (Google Base), or a little of both (Yahoo! HotJobs).
Considering all the connections Jobster has to Microsoft via its Board of Directors, I wonder if WorkZoo’s technology and Jobsters’ referral capabilities could be part of this new venture.
It would certainly bring job content along with a community element. Should be interesting.
