jobster after goldberg: one year later
By Vanessa Dennis - It's been almost a year since Jason Goldberg, one of the most dynamic, albeit controversial leaders in the employment industry, left his post at Jobster to focus on another startup.

Whether he was allegedly threatening to murder his staff for leaking company information, poking the Bear, or blogging about almost drowning in his Prada shoes, you knew that Goldberg's this-is-who-I-am-and-if-you-don't-like-it-you-can-go-screw-yourself attitude would eventually land him in hot water.

By Joel Cheesman - On the heels of Trovix being gobbled up by Monster for a mindboggling $72.5 million, why isn't anyone buying up the vertical job search engines? Surprise!

- @cheezhead - Just like weather guys in Florida - cept' they get an occasional hurricane to make things interesting.
- thinks being a meteorologist in Phoenix would be absurdly easy and borderline boring. "Tomorrow's going to be warm/hot and sunny. Repeat."
