My weekend project - I put together a small, straightforward site for browsing developer job sites.

Any feedback would be appreciated; I'm trying to keep this short and simple. The last thing I want to do is end up turning this into yet-another-aggregator.

Looks pretty neat. Are these arranged based on any logic like openings available or just some order based on brand?

Looks good for a weekend project.

Throwing in some random ideas to see if there is anything that can be added to it to make it first place for people to start looking for a job. (understand you don't want another yet-another-aggregator).

- Location as a search option or location no-constraint as an option so I start looking at subset?

- Is it possible to just show short details like skill based filter or any other search option? The challenge then could be to tag each job & map to various search. Would there be simpler options using tag cloud?

Thanks! They're arranged mostly arbitrarily, but I put the "large" logos at the bottom since I was originally hoping to have a 64x64 icon for every link.

For location, I was thinking of just having an input where you could type your location, and any link that supports location filtering would be updated automatically. Do you think that would be sufficient?

I'm not sure what you mean by skill based filter - I was thinking of adding job-specific sites and breaking it into categories, but I'm starting to like the idea of keeping the site very simple and agnostic. I want to avoid hitting 50 or 100 links and ending up with an overwhelming index page.
