trunk and warner on social media
By Vanessa Dennis - One of the most fascinating conversations I sat in on during ERE's Fall Expo was a roundtable discussion with author and Brazen Careerist blogger Penelope Trunk, Google's talent expert Jason Warner, and a handful of corporate and contingency recruiters eager to pick the brains of these Web 2.0 veterans. The main question posed by the panel was, who is blogging, and if you're not, why? A few people said they've been exploring this newfound world of Web 2.0 tools, albeit hesitantly mainly because of legal fears and threats posed by their corporate colleagues. Warner's response: break the rules.

By Joel Cheesman - Life is getting pretty tough for the likes of Monster, CareerBuilder and Yahoo! HotJobs, according to recent traffic data by HitWise.

Wednesday, March 19, 2008
Probably one of the many tests that won’t go anywhere, but Google is currently adding search within specific domains via Web searches. So far, such functionality only accompanies No. 1 rankings and, like most tests, is visible sporadically. My own opinion is this clutters-up an already ever-cluttering results page. They’d be best served to kill this.

Thursday, February 28, 2008
Google’s rebranded launch of Jotspot as Google Sites is fairly intriguing as an opening act. Think wiki meets Facebook meets Blogger. Techcrunch, as usual, has a good breakdown.
