Joblighted is a new job aggregator that tracks jobs from a variety of niche boards, including VentureBeat, Startuply, MetaFilter, and Coroflot.
The small number of technical jobs (about 25,000) aggregated to the site works well because of the Google map at the top of the page that shows where each job is based. The relatively uncluttered map makes for easy navigation.
Search functions allow the user to set up filters for job distance, location, date posted, and key words. The user can also sign up for RSS feeds that will notify them when a new job gets posted.
There is also a statistics page that shows which site has the most jobs tracked (Krop is the leader) and a graph that depicts the number of jobs posted on the site declining month over month.

The distance option is in kilometers. Since the US hasn’t converted to the metric system it may require users to find a kilometers vs miles calculation table.
