Everybody should keep a resume current and a lot of folks need help with this. Speaking of which, I need to update mine for business school. I'll give Emurse a shot, and let you know what I think!Jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14938056757144156428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18414922.post-1155669284773856032006-08-15T12:14:00.000-07:002006-08-15T12:14:00.000-07:00I think tor nailed it -- provide something people ...I think tor nailed it -- provide something people want. Much of the "web2.0" world seems focused on doing things that might seem really cool or shiney or whatever but stop short of solving a real problem. Weekend rails apps are cool and all, but... <BR/><BR/>Our goal with Emurse is to be a bit more focused on mass appeal. We'll encounter things that don't quite make sense for us immediately (tagging, for instance), and get digirati types asking why we haven't implemented it yet. It's about implementing core services and features first, ya know? Not just about doing whats hot and trendy. We have to stay on point (improving your job hunt)<BR/><BR/>Anyway.. Great post, and thanks for the link to our site! Drop us a line if you have any suggestions :)<BR/><BR/>Best,<BR/><BR/>Alex Rudloff<BR/>Emurse.com<BR/><A HREF="http://www.emurse.com/blog/" REL="nofollow">Emurse.com Blog</A>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13441809988487585009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18414922.post-1155664782804954582006-08-15T10:59:00.000-07:002006-08-15T10:59:00.000-07:00Yes, it's definitely feeling like the late 90s aga...Yes, it's definitely feeling like the late 90s again!Jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14938056757144156428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18414922.post-1155664680763514032006-08-15T10:58:00.000-07:002006-08-15T10:58:00.000-07:00We'll know it's hit the final phase when everybody...We'll know it's hit the final phase when everybody wants to buy any stock that has "web 2.0" in its name, just like the .com boom and bust in the 90s.<BR/><BR/>Web 2.0 does indeed have a lot of interesting applications to make people's lives better and easier, but in the end, it'll always be the same old story: Provide something people want, or don't bother.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13441809988487585009noreply@blogger.com
