Google does job search
I'm not
sure how new this is, but it's new to me so I'm hoping it's not old news to everyone else: You can now search for jobs

"jobs" in Google is worth its weight bits in gold, and I'm guessing Monster.com and
CareerBuilder are less than thrilled to be displaced.

I believe this to be part of Google Base being integrated into Google Search. Do a search for "Housing" and you'll get the same. There are also links to "Post your own item" and "My items"
Also the URL of the page it brings you to when you narrow it down is google.com/base/...

I can't replicate this for "jobs" or "housing." I just get plain search results.
