Could Google be contemplating a purchase of SimplyHired?

by Chris Gilmer May 5th 2007

google simplyhiredCould Google possibly buy another company? You bet, there is always room inside the what seems to be the hollow halls of the Googleplex.

Rumors are getting passed around about a purchase of SimplyHired, the job search engine. SimplyHired, who just raised $13M from NewsCorp has over 2 million monthly uniques, which is a perfect traffic amount to make a sizable income from Google's AdWords. Can anyone count the number of companies Google has bought this year on one hand?

SimplyHired has been focused on building the largest online database of jobs on the planet, making it a simple and easy to use location for jobhunters.

MySpace launches MySpace Jobs

by David Chartier Feb 16th 2007

MySpace launches MySpace Jobs
Anyone who tells you MySpace is all fun (unless you're at an Apple Store), games, stalking and phishing has another thing coming. MySpace has just launched MySpace Jobs, a new job and resume posting area powered by SimplyHiredthat isn't without a sense of humor:

MySpace launches MySpace Jobs

Searching for jobs works as expected at MySpace, but posting a resume strangely whisks you away from MySpace entirely to SimplyHired's site to, no pun intended, get the job done.

All in all this feels like a great idea for such a massive social network, though one should probably clean up their profile before embarking on a MySpace job hunt.

As a side note: is the rounded corner design of the job search area (pictured above) quite possibly the first sign of any actual web 2.0-ness at MySpace, despite what Peter Chernin says?

Funding Watch: $25 mil. for Facebook, 13.5 for SimplyHired

by Jordan Running Apr 19th 2006

FacebookLast we heard Facebook was up on the block for nothing less than $2 billion, but now they're saying they were never interested in selling in the first place. According to SiliconBeat, the king of social networking sites for the college set has just accepted $25 million in funding from some Silicon Valley investors and marketing says, "It has never been our intention to sell the company." Facebook, according to comScore Media Metrix, is the seventh most-visited site on the web.

And over on the other side of the web, job meta-search site SimplyHired has raised $13.5 million from Fox Interactive and Foundation Capital, despite the fact that Google is hovering ominously around the corner with its own job search project.

Build the highest tower with 99 Bricks - Time Waster

Wrapping your mind around a simple game like 99 Bricks is harder than you might imagine. The object of the game is to build the highest possible tower using only 99 pieces. Sounds easy enough, but you're playing with Tetris pieces and distinctly non-Tetris physics. If you screw up, you don't just leave gaps that you could have used to score points, you cause your whole tower to wobble and collapse.

Pieces also don't lock to a grid in 99 Bricks, the way they do in Tetris. You can wind up with pieces slanted diagonally, and there's an edge of the board that your toppled bricks can fall off of. 99 Bricks is kind of like Jenga, in that it's almost as satisfying to watch your tower crumble as it is to play seriously. Once you get the hang of the way the pieces behave, it's an addictive little game.
