I’m trying to figure out how I feel about this. I guess it depends on how arduous the application process is. If it’s just one click apply on LinkedIn and it gives them an idea of supply in the labour market then I’m not losing sleep over it as an applicant. But if they are expecting cover letters and taking people through rounds of interviews, that’s pretty inconsiderate and speaks to a rotten company culture.

This is short sighted as this will ultimately push more job seekers into going through external recruiters and these companies will be left paying recruitment premiums.

Also time, our university did something like this on their library computers. It meant waiting 5min after someone logged out for it to do a system restore before the next person could log in. Which seemed like forever when you're rushing to print a paper.

I suppose it really depends on the poll. Answering ‘What is your age?’ would be frustrating if all the options were scrambled. But anything subjective like ‘What’s your favourite programming language?’ would certainly benefit from random ordering.

Similar to mine. Nothing for years, then three attempts in last couple of days. I wonder if they got my email from the Adobe breach.

Google and Instapaper killed Delicious for me.

I used to bookmark anything interesting. 3 years ago my bookmarks menu wouldn't fit on the screen at once, and that was just the category folders. Later someone showed me Delicious, and I stated migrating my bookmarks there. But search engines have gotten so good, I don't even bookmark pages anymore.

Why bother tagging when searching's faster? I only have to vaguely remember what the page was about and I'm there (or somewhere better).
