So I got an invitation from someone I know to join this event on Facebook. It's a new site called Jobbook. I guess it's a lot like monster.com but it is free for students looking for jobs, internships, etc. You can upload your resume and stuff. I thought it interesting because it seems a lot of people are taking networking sites and narrowing them down to a niche market and creating a site based off of that. I would consider this a niche because it's specifically for college students. The link to the facebook group is below:

Also, if you're in strategic management right now with Galvin or maybe another professor, this instantly reminded me of the LinkedIn case we are doing and the questions we had to answer about is it possible for there to be a winner-take-all in social media or social networking sites. As more companies are being started, it seems the answer may be no as they slowly take some of the market share.

-not sure if that link works, but just search jobbook official launch on Facebook
As much as I'm always glad to find another way to job search and look for opportunities, sometimes I wish everything was conveniently in one location or website. Like if all employers used LinkedIn so you could just job search through that. But I guess diversity is important?
