If I were a betting man, SnapTalent would be the first I'd put coin on. I didn't actually think much of it (and, in fact, I think when I first talked to them early in Winter08 they didn't even have any useful code written yet...but maybe I'm misremembering), until they'd actually launched. It really looks great, though--a perfect way to handle the tech jobs market, which is a HUGE industry in and of itself. Monster and Dice have been fighting it out for years, and spending millions just marketing themselves. SnapTalent allows the world of bloggers and tech sites to market for them. Recipe for win if ever I saw one.
Hey Joe, Thanks for the comments. We're starting out in tech but will be moving to other verticals eventually. The other key advantage we have is that as the web's traffic is more international and as we add advertisers from different countries we can serve Ip targeted ads on the same publishers and be extremely local at the same time.
We have a global and pretty ambitious vision - its how hotjobs started, we're aiming to be even bigger in this phase of the web.
I was putting myself in the mindset of someone looking for a job, and I was extremely disappointed after viewing both awesome snaptalent ads that I could not click "Browse more". I wanted to see all your listings.
I've been thinking the same thing for awhile. Initially I had just chalked it up to a browser issue since I'm running webkit nightlies. This seems like a pretty easy thing to remedy though.
