VentureBeat: LinkedIn: One company that shouldn’t root for the bailout?

  • HappyHarry · 1 year ago
    well isnt that wonderful. I think Life Alert has a page also on there.

    There are thousands of jobs posted on job sites -

    http://www.indeed.com (aggregated listings)
    http://www.simplyhired.com (aggregated listings)
    http://www.realmatch.com (matches you to the jobs)

    I see 100K, 150K and 200K jobs

    Sorry if I'm being dense, just not totally clear what point you're trying to make. That there are plenty of unfilled listings that you can see on any site?

    And LinkedIn.com was down for at least 15-30 minutes this afternoon.
  • Anthony Ha · 1 year ago
    Yeah, other VentureBeat writers noticed that too. Weird.

    It appeared to be limited to the SSL handoff (https) used for authentication on events such as InMail, profile edits, etc... the standard web properties (http) were intermittent.

    I still think their Answers service is not being actively policed. Some of the "questions" are just painfully bad or just plain incoherent.

    I've also noticed an increase in new users attempting to subvert the paid job listings by advertising listings within Answers. Notably, those are dealt with much faster than the bogus questions.

    Have any of you guys at VB covered any successes with the group discussion functionality delivered a few weeks ago?
  • Anthony Ha · 1 year ago
    Jay, I don't recall seeing anything here or elsewhere about the group discussion functionality, but I'll talk to some of the other VB folks to doublecheck. Thanks!

    Interesting article, thanks for that Jay!

    On your note - Certainly have to agree with you about the answers having a number of vacancies on there and bogus questions - I have been advised to post vacancies on the group discussions - anyone think that this is inappropriate?

    Cheers

    Thanks for the article.

    I came to the information through the Guardian, but my point is that it is interesting to see that LinkedIn can tell us these things. How'd you like to target your advertising with that accuracy;-)
