It sure would be nice to help the industry or provide alternative recommendations to companies instead of always bashing companies that are taking an alternative approach! Just a thought. - Jason Cheez-

Do people actually find talent on their site? Why do none of their users ever come out in Jobster's defense when they get attacked on a regular basis... Just curious...thoughts? Question,

I hear so much about Jobster from their company PRing and marketing and speaking and doing all the things that one can do with 50 Million bucks…but I never hear from any happy customers…

Do people actually find talent on their site? Why do none of their users ever come out in Jobster’s defense when they get attacked on a regular basis…

Just curious…thoughts?

While I find Jobster's business strateg[y|ies] confusing at best, isn't the "commoditization of once-valuable products" one of the keys to the success of the Internet? And I fail to see the connection between Jobster's failures and those of the newspapers. The newspapers were at the wrong end of the democratization of content publishing; by the emailers own admission Jobster is lowering barriers to entry, which seemingly puts them in the opposite camp of Big Ink. How does this kill the Internet? Isn't this one of the primary forces driving the Internet's growth? I’m confused.
