I did this yesterday and deployed today, it's a standard rails app. User Authentication is done by acts_as_authenticated

Feel free to add items to the site for 'jobs' you'd like me to do. I envision it growing, and I'm working on making the body text wikified right now.

All apologies to reddit and news.YC for ripping off the votable-items format :)

Also, source is available at http://www.jaggederest.com/jobs/svn/

Commit access if you ask nice? Or something?

Note that is the development version, the production version is deployed in a different fashion (config mostly). So don't go trying to 'hack' that user on the server itself.

1) Is this a jobs board?

2) What competitive advantage do you have? Over the dozens (more?) already out there?

Suggestion: Is it possible to write a meta bot, so that when a visitor to your site types in the job keywords, then your bot will log in (using your login), to say, monster.com and retrieve the relevant 'records', then log in to dice, then log in to....?

Then you can post the summarized results. "Go to dice for Usability analyst. OR, Post your resume at npost.com/founderfinder.com for a cofounder"

IMHO, that will be very useful. Monster et. al. wont sue you either, because you arent cloaking their stuff in yours'.

Nice job.

Something much needed and wanted by people having trouble looking for co-founders, etc.

Hopefully this will bloom into a reliable resource and network.

Do others a favor and vote this up so they're aware of this potential tool.

Be careful otherwise you will "twitter" soon because of huge load :) If you wish, I can create a css for you as you mentioned on your site.
