When you present your services to a company, do you ever talk about other search engines? I am an active Yahoo and AOL user. If you were coming in to present to me, I would ask you about other engines and what they are doing. I dont mean to be rude but some of your views seem very narrow sighted. If you go into a room of 100 people, and just talked about all the benefits of google, I dont think everyone would be listening. I think the 'oooh, ahhh, google is cool so you should listen factor' wont keep everyone in HR's attention. Keep up the good work but I would love to see what the other portals are doing in terms of graphical and key word advertising. Also, I know you delete any posts that are negative toward you but please leave this one up.... seriously, I am not trying to push buttons.

Until they make it easier to integrate an RSS jobs feed into it, its just not worth my time. They should take a cue from the Indeed.com's of the world and allow job boards and others with RSS job feeds to simply give them our feed as is. Also its not in the job seekers best interest to just get the Google Base jobs 'center stage'. Its just not a comprehensive set of data to give them value. For the job seeker, Indeed and Simply Hired are still the ultimate job search experience. I’m still down on Google Base for jobs.
