Just checked out Jobby after reading about on TechCrunch, and darned if Michael wasn’t dead on - the interface, (with a slight glitch on the “user experience” tag for some reason) is definitely awesome, (heck, almost turns looking for a job into a video game! ). Will definitely have to keep in mind going forward.

Would be really cool if, as it grows, live jobs appeared in a right pane or something in order of best match to their tag clouds, as well, (now that _would be_ a video game! ).

And for a viral piece, since recruiters care often care most about what others say about you, how about throwing in a little LinkedIn endorsement kind of thing, on-the-fly weighted by the skill of the endorser for the given tag, (i.e. for “Product Mktg” or “Ruby on Rails,” etc., you would get further gooses for the number of people who endorsed your skill on those tags if they also had high skill / endorsements for theirs, moderate for moderate scores, low for low - yep, peer review / Backrub / Google for jobs! ). Also should help out a bit in differentiating the 4000 people that’ll all come up with Advanced on tags A, B & G, which are most important for a given job.
