One year ago, I noted the Quovix experiment to find candidates for a job by blogging. That experiment didn't work out.
This year, they tried it again. This time Quovix CEO Marty Morrow reports Blogging beats Monster.com for job posting. He lists some benefits, which center around greater interaction and ability to learn about what makes potential employees tick (and the ability to learn what makes potential employers tick).
Meanwhile, Dan is going the other way: he's blogging to find employment.
Maybe someone should write something to match up the Martys and the Dans... but then we already have monster.com, right?
Does the whole thing stop working if "everybody" starts doing it, because then you have all the riff-raff too? Or does that just make it better, because the social network is larger?
