Chad, thanks for helping Joel step back from the ledge on Indeed.

When it comes to the indeed/permalink issue I think its really important to note the value that indeed provides employers when it scrapes and optimizes the employers content for search in the first place.

We all know that in most cases these employers’ career sites are poorly optimized and this market is underserved.

I’ve personally spoken to a bunch of employers whom where spending aggressively on monster and hotjobs and not spending on Indeed. Yet, Indeed was providing a very considerable amount of career site traffic.

To one extent, Indeed is optimizing these careers sites at no cost to the employer. Yea it’s selling ads around the content but I think that’s ok. They are providing a service in exchange.

It’s still a grey area because in some cases job boards may not want this to happen. Indeed should offer an opt-out form for those sites.

That’s what hotjobs did when it began scraping content. I think its a good and fair move.

Moving forward I think Rony at Indeed should be careful with Joel.

With Jason Goldberg out of the picture, Joel may be in he market to put a new mark in his sights.

Chrisr – no we didn’t miss that at all with StandOutJobs, I think that discussion could’ve gone further and it might.. I agree on NOT restricting video, especially with regard to PPV models versus open syndication.

I know Julian, I know… ;o)

Welcome to the podcast world (ok – you’ve been broadcasting podcasts individually for some time, but you know what I mean!).

Seriously though, great show, some interesting topics and well based arguments, although I think some of my listeners might disagree with Chad’s comments that everyone looks to the US economy – we do have innovation and economies in the UK and EU too you know :-)

Keep up the good work.

Also, although Career TV does upload some content to YouTube, I find their pricing model to be a bit restrictive since they limit the amount of views a video can get on their site. The goal should be to maximize the video content, not restrict it.

Good luck with it!
