stlplaceLinkedIn probably is the largest job postings website, at least in the USA, nowadays.
But sometimes it seems to me at least, the job postings there may not be real. For example, this one, Lead Software Engineer-R-252949 at Mastercard, and it appears is exactly the same as the newly reposted one Lead Software Engineer both have the same requisition number R-252949 at the MC Workday website.
Don’t know if it’s just the LinkedIn reposted automatically, or MC people reposted it on LinkedIn.
Reading Time: < 1 minuteBlogging is declining. My friend Wang Jianshuo reminds me about this trend. Obviously Jianshuo has much more authority on this because he started blogging on Sept 11 2002 and has a large followers at his blog.
On the other hand, I have joined Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter this year (not necessarily in this order). And it seems to me all three websites are going strong. The main reason? I think it’s the networking effect. Facebook has been hot for a while, esp. among college students. LinkedIn got popular this year particularly since the recession made job search more difficult, and networking is much more important to land an interview or a job (compared to easy times). Twitter is more interesting, I noticed it changed slogan from “what’re you doing” to “what’s happening”. This precisely reflects the change of emphasis of Twitter, and the power of twitter, from Iran post-election to StockTwits (and many sites based on twitter, see 20 Twitter Apps you need to know).
Interestingly, I noticed one co-founder of Twitter, Evan Williams, is also the author of blogger. Maybe Evan already knows about this trend when he co-founded Twitter, which started a a mini-blog platform?
