		<title>Is your job board mobile?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
Although I&#8217;m a bit skeptical of Google&#8217;s recent prediction of the imminent death of the desktop, it is true that more and more people are using their mobile devices as some form of a portable computer &#8211; for proof, just think of the number of times you&#8217;ve watched someone gamely try to type on their [...]]]></description>

		<title>Confessions of a job board doctor</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
It&#8217;s been a year since I started blogging &#8211; a year filled with both good things and not-so-good things. But the best thing? I&#8217;m still blogging, you&#8217;re still reading, and we&#8217;re all still learning.
I rarely (well, actually, never) write about my personal life. Why? Because I&#8217;ve always assumed that: a) it&#8217;s pretty boring; b) you [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cool job sites</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
Cool &#8211; now what is that, exactly? To me, it means unusual (in a good way), well designed, and &#8216;of a piece&#8217;. In other words, if it&#8217;s different and hangs together, or approaches the job board paradigm in a different, effective way, it&#8217;s cool!
So here are a few job sites I think are cool:

Not surprisingly, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Job clouds, job boards, and the job seeker</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
Matt Alder published a fascinating piece last week about &#8216;job clouds&#8217; and why he thought Twitter could be the future of job boards. It was one of those &#8220;I wish I had written that!&#8221; moments for me, to be honest.
In brief, he posits the creation of a &#8216;job cloud&#8217; created by multiple employer Twitter feeds [...]]]></description>

		<title>Is your job site positioned to grow?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
Doostang just announced that they&#8217;ve landed $1.25 million in new funding. That&#8217;s not a huge investment compared to the boom years, but it is a signal that our industry may have reached bottom and is beginning to rebound.
So you&#8217;ve survived the worst. Now what are you going to do?
Do you have a plan for growth? [...]]]></description>

		<title>JobDeck and its implications for job boards</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
By now you&#8217;ve probably heard of JobDeck, a modified version of the popular Twitter search application, TweetDeck. A collaboration between TwitJobSearch and TweetDeck, JobDeck has a permanent, specialized search that focuses on jobs. These are sourced from the Twittersphere, based on employment-related keywords, plus additional content from LinkedIn.
Well, it&#8217;s gotten the New York Times excited.
But [...]]]></description>

		<title>Does your job board need a logo?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
There are thousands of job sites out there. If you spend much time looking at them, like I do, you quickly realize that many lack &#8216;brand identity&#8217;.
In other words, they&#8217;re forgettable.
Try it yourself. Go to JobBoardReviews or Google &#8220;your favorite industry + jobs&#8221; and see what you find.  I&#8217;m betting that (after you get past [...]]]></description>

		<title>How many job boards is too many?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
It&#8217;s true: anyone and his or her dog can have their own job board. Actually, the dog could probably run the board, thanks to Job*a*matic (well, maybe not my dog &#8211; she sleeps too much).
How many job boards is too many? Peter Weddle says we have 100,000 or so worldwide. I suspect only a small [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;Fake&#8221; postings and your job board</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
It&#8217;s never a good idea to upset your customers. So why would a job board allow a so-called &#8216;fake&#8217; job posting &#8211; a job listing that, in fact, does not currently exist? 

Maybe the job board didn&#8217;t know it was fake. After all, dozens or even hundreds of jobs are posted at many sites each [...]]]></description>
