Hello World!
It’s been awhile and im sorry for the lack of updates lately. JobsTAXI has been moving on quite healthily, we’ve posted close to 60 jobs since our start 2 weeks ago, and we’ve gotten great feedback from great names such as LucasFilm, Digg and Wikia. We’ve got a couple of surprises planned within the next few weeks, and in the meantime you can check us out on our Facebook group (Search keyword JobsTAXI) or the blog for newer updates.
I stumbled across a great post on Social Media Tools for PR professionals at Mashable.com. It’s great to see how almost every aspect of life has a mirror of sorts in technology or on the web. PR, has long been a staple where being “in person” dictates the strength of the relationship between the PR professional and the journalist in question. So theres 10 new reasons why that above statement could be changing in this day and age.
I guess that’s why Mark Zuckerberg’s smiling!
Enjoy!
As you’ve might heard, Wall Street is in tatters, if you’ve been under a rock this past few weeks, you can get up to speed here .
Million Dollar Question, Why are we here?
In layman terms, Wall Street f*cked up, i’ve been saying this for years, the complexity and of lack transparency of most financial instruments in this day and age is the catalyst for everything that’s happening. I wont go into details, but the information can be found here
Now, we got 159,000 unemployed individuals in the US, i haven’t found global unemployment numbers as yet but i’m expecting it to be huge.
We can’t blame Wall Street totally, the greed in us, fed the whole process.
So yeah but still…
Screw Wall Street…
Lets Save Main Street.

Welcome to the class of Web 2.0
It’s everywhere…
I do mean everywhere, within a glance, it’s easy to spot a couple of sites that you visit about as frequently as The Nutty Professor would have snacks in a day. Yes, it’s official, web 2.0 is no longer a phenomenon, it’s a staple..
Within the above picture though, how many recruitment sites are really considered web 2.0? There’s a few that i’ve seen online, Jobster and Krop are good examples, but none has truly captivated the web 2.0 audience, like you know, grabbed it by it’s balls.
If web 2.0 is a staple in these modern times, shouldn’t the recruitment industry be moving towards that direction. A great description of a web 2.0 jobseeker can be found here . Every other industry is embracing the step forward, but till this day, the NY Times has job classified section. A Classified section in a newspaper is an equivalent to a cassette tape in this day and age, an online Job board would be probably like a Compact Disc. I’m waiting for an mp3 equivalent. An Itunes for jobs per say. That would be wicked.
I think looking for a job should be as fun as looking for a friend on facebook. If that day comes, then maybe, just maybe…
We’ll see a couple of notable “recruitment” additions to the class of Web 2.0.
