Would You Like Some Tech News With Those Job Ads?
Yes, I’m whining, but I can’t be the only person to notice that job ads are taking over the internet. More specifically, every tech news site seems to have its own job ads, including:
- Slashdot and related sites like Freshmeat, NewsForge etc
- Joel On Software
- DZone and related sites like Javalobby, EclipseZone etc
- Worse Than Failure (man, that new name sucks)
I guess the reason is that good people are hard to find, and our industry is no exception. I do wonder at the viability of these boards; it will be interesting to see if this spreads even further. Are the advantages of a centralised board offset by the differentiating factors offered by each site (in particular the ability to target a niche audience)? Perhaps a combination of the two ala the Google Adwords Content Network is our final destination?
