Great blog article today at The Talent Buzz about the massive resources invested by Careerbuilder into its Facebook strategy and the less than stellar results seen to-date. Careerbuilder has invested an incredible amount of time and money into its Facebook strategy yet its Fan Page only has 8,613 "fans" which are to the Fan Pages set up by organizations to what "friends" are to the personal pages set up by individuals.

As a Web worker, I have clients who are always looking for new and more affordable ways to market what they do. I’m also faced with the constant need to better promote what I’m doing to continue to grow my business. The landscape on the Web is undergoing a deep and vast transformation because of social media, and it is affecting the way we market what we do. Public relations will never be the same. ...

We've mentioned what happened half way around the world from the White House. So what happened at, uh, the White House itself? I'm happy to tell you — pandemonium. I wandered by the Obama family's next place of residence yesterday around 1 am and walked right into a joyous mob shouting, crying, and carrying Obama signs. The favorite chant of the night? "Nah nah nah nah, hey hey hey, gooooodbye."

I’m continually surprised, especially when considering how many jobs have been lost since this economic crisis began, that companies are still trying to get job seekers to pay for their products and services. I understand there are some investments that are unavoidable during a job search, but asking the unemployed to pay for a service that should naturally be free seems so phishy to me. Today I came across a bundle of articles on how ...

Virtually all major job boards encourage candidates to post their resumes so that the minority of employers who search the resume banks can search the database, find your resume, and contact you to see if you'd be interested in being considered for one of their employment opportunities. There are certainly pros and cons to posting your resume to a public database such as a resume bank. For example, although potential employers will be able to ...

A tip came in this weekend from someone with a fleet of new MacBooks. His complaint? Every 50 or so clicks and the trackpad freezes for 5 to 10 clicks and then wakes back up. The tipster writes: So we’ve bought about 10 of them, all of them have awful problems recognizing clicks. The trackpad has a bug where it does not click about 60% of the time. A little digging reveals a huge discussion ...

Zazzle, the site that lets you custom-design and sell everything from T-shirts and hoodies to sneakers and skateboards, has launched a new feature that may well put it leagues ahead of its competitors: embroidery. And while the prospect of having an embroidered shirt may not sound appealing at first (I’ve always associated embroidery with tacky nametags emblazoned on polo shirts), Zazzle’s new feature is very impressive and will likely draw a large number of new ...

When Yammer, a micro-messaging service for the enterprise, launched at TechCrunch50, the biggest complaint was that the service was one big inbox, with no way to create groups or tag messages. That hasn’t hurt growth of the company, which had 50,000 users a week after launch. But as usage grows at a company, the “all messages” tab can get a little noisy. We are using the service religiously at TechCrunch, and the signal-to-noise ratio is ...

Widget creator WidgetLaboratory got into a public feud this Summer with Ning after being shut out of the build-your-own social network platform over questionable behavior around its Terms of Service. TechCrunch called the third party widget developers “idiots” when they posted e-mail communication between themselves and Ning which didn’t exactly support their case, and when it turned out they flat out lied about the ban at first to gain sympathy. Now it seems WidgetLaboratory has ...

I recently acquired an old farm house in rural southwestern Wisconsin. I’ve always wanted a place out in the country. With the real estate market taking a hit I figured this was a good time to buy. Time will tell on the financial return, but the peacefulness return is already paying off. However, it’s not all about relaxation — I do want to work from there from time to time. Foolishly I assumed that broadband ...

For a while we’ve been exploring switching to WYSIWYG text editing in our products. Up until this point we’ve been using either plain text, manual HTML, or Textile formatting. Depending on who you are it’s either fine or annoying. We want to do a lot better. We’ve looked at a lot of existing options (Yahoo’s WYSIWYG plug-in, TinyMCE, etc), but we weren’t happy with any of them. Currently available WYSIWYG editors don’t offer much flexibility ...

The 2008 Rails Rumble, a competition for Ruby on Rails coders, saw 131 web applications launch into the wild this past weekend. The quality of the applications increased dramatically this year, turning the competition into something of a startup hyper-incubator, with the goal of producing apps that not only win votes but become sustained products. The rules are simple: you, along with up to three hacker friends, can’t start coding until midnight on Friday and ...
