interview with oodle
By Joel Cheesman - With a stable of partnerships that includes Facebook and MySpace, Oodle believes it's uniquely positioned to change the face of online classifieds. They may be onto something. “Facebook chose Oodle for its track record of innovation with online classifieds,” added Facebook’s director of communications, Brandee Barker. “Oodle will be developing and powering an enhanced version of the Marketplace, which will give users new ways to buy, sell, and share listings with the people they know as well as other users on Facebook.” We sat down with Oodle CEO Craig Donato for the skinny.

By Joel Cheesman - Times are tough. Job board owners are talking about 25-40 percent decreases in postings. Stories of layoffs at boards big and small abound. And it’s only November.

The best many players can hope for is holding steady while watching for falling rocks. Having been a victim in the last downturn, I know how ugly it can get.
