More ways for job seekers to find job openings

July 2nd, 2008 3 Comments »

Post your job once, see them everywhere!

We’ve finally completed our partnership with SimplyHired, Indeed, WowJobs and Kapehan for job aggregation and distribution. SimplyHired is also providing a job search engine for LinkedIn Canada and MySpace UK.

What does this mean to you as an employer?
Aside from our great visibility at search engines (Google, Yahoo! and Live), your job ads will have further exposure thru our job aggregators. This exponentially increases the visibility of your job openings to job seekers who are visiting social networks and other services.

How do I get my job there?
SimplyHired, Indeed and WowJobs only list jobs that have specific locations such as city and state/province. So next time you post a job, make sure you don’t forget to choose a city and state/province. This is however, not applicable for country-wide job postings.

I just saw Alpha Beta today. It’s a search engine at Yahoo! Australia. One of the not-so-good-name branding by a Yahoo! product.

What? It’s Alpha? No. It’s Beta. No! It’s Alpha Beta. Whatever dude…

Food for the eyes. Full screen view, customizable new skins, tabbed messenger windows, new emoticons behavior (pops big and slides to a smaller one), Mac-like auto-save preference (no more clicking “Apply” to save settings), all power-less clutter, resizable contact list, and lastly hard to believe - no ADS!

Plainly, it’s very cool.

Download it now while it’s hot! (Vista only)

Yahoo! Fire Eagle invite-only beta launched

Yahoo! Fire Eagle recently mailed out my beta invite to test out the service. Think of it as a twitter for your location.

I signed up for the alpha testing last January when I read about it on Yahoo! Next’s blog. Though I didn’t get to see it in alpha (didn’t matter), it’s cool to finally get a feel what Yahoo! has been up to with a "share your location" service.

Soon you can use Fire Eagle to share your location via Facebook, a badge you can place at your website/blog, and update your location on SMS.

In their own words:

Fire Eagle is a system that brokers location information. It is designed to help users safely share information about their location with sites, services and people on the Internet.

By the way, I have 4 exclusive beta invites to give out. Let me know if you want one. ;)

Yahoo! rejects Microsoft bid. Says it undervalues the company

February 11th, 2008 1 Comment »

From TechCrunch:

YAHOO! BOARD OF DIRECTORS SAYS MICROSOFT’S PROPOSAL SUBSTANTIALLY UNDERVALUES YAHOO!

Sunnyvale, Calif., February 11, 2008 — Yahoo! Inc. (Nasdaq: YHOO), a leading global Internet company, today said the Yahoo! Board of Directors has carefully reviewed Microsoft’s unsolicited proposal with Yahoo!’s management team and financial and legal advisors and has unanimously concluded that the proposal is not in the best interests of Yahoo! and our stockholders.

After careful evaluation, the Board believes that Microsoft’s proposal substantially undervalues Yahoo! including our global brand, large worldwide audience, significant recent investments in advertising platforms and future growth prospects, free cash flow and earnings potential, as well as our substantial unconsolidated investments. The Board of Directors is continually evaluating all of its strategic options in the context of the rapidly evolving industry environment and we remain committed to pursuing initiatives that maximize value for all stockholders.

Goldman, Sachs & Co., Lehman Brothers and Moelis & Company are acting as financial advisors to Yahoo!. Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP is acting as legal advisor to Yahoo!, and Munger Tolles & Olson LLP is acting as counsel to the outside directors of Yahoo!.

This is going to be a lenghty negotiation between the two camps.
