I get asked on a regular basis why I haven’t plugged-in a social network or community into Cheezhead. (”The pageviews are crazy, dude!”) Granted, I dabble in Facebook, but I haven’t infiltrated the main site with user profiles to date.

Not surprisingly, MySpace partner Simply Hired is the first job site to launch an application on the popular social network via OpenSocial.

There are only 14 installs so far, but it’s very early. We’ll see if more job seekers jump on board in the months to come. If Facebook is any precedent, few MySpacers will add […]

Keep in mind, Google powers the ads on MySpace. So, even though the ability to filter out such competitors exists, it’s doubtful Simply […]
