I do not agree that Ecademy is worth signing up for,a s I signed up for it as a Free member and it seems that it's only good if you pay a membership. I would rank it as: 1. LinkedIn 2. Plaxo 3. Twitter 4. Xing 5. Twellow - this one is really good because you post your profile and get listed in categories that you want to be listed in I previously wrote a blog about this exact same thing, which is posted on The Talent Buzz. http://tinyurl.com/au8927

Really? There aren't ten sites worth using to find talent online. Bottom line, aside from Facebook & Linkedin - none of these sites have enough volume to seriously fit into a recruitment plan.

"Edward is searching for a new job". That would be a little embarrassing if your colleagues or your employer saw that.

Perhaps we are still a bit slow in adopting social networks in a professional capacity. This is a great list, but in my part of the world (Singapore) not all are relevant.

Careerbuilder bought a lot of display ads and are reselling them...period. No partnership. They buy low, sell high, and pocket the difference.

I think this is PR at its best! Also Facebook has a third way to search for jobs because it partners with CareerBuilder. I know because I became a fan last week! I like LinkedIn and I thank you for letting me know that you can search jobs on their! I'm hearing things about a place called Brightfuse. Any word on that one? All in all helpful article!
