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:
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?

Two new features for Odeo
Podcasting portal Odeo has announced a couple cool new features in its official blog. The first is a "Starred Audio Player," which could be described as a Flash widget that you can add to your blog or web site that displays and plays all of cool audio you've found and "starred" on Odeo. It lets you customize the colors and change how items are displayed. You can see an example of the Starred Audio Player in action here.The second new feature is much smaller, but just as welcome: Resume Play. if you're listening to something on Odeo and close the page, when you go back to Odeo it will automatically resume where you left off. Excellent.

Emurse: Resumes, Web 2.0-style
I was made aware of Emurse a couple weeks ago, but forgot about it until today when I came across this very positive review at Solution Watch. Emurse is a resume creation and management system with all the trappings of a modern web app. It was created by Gavin Hall and Alex Rudloff, who are also a lot of the muscle behind the new Netscape and the blogging software you and I are looking at right now. Emurse allows you to create a resume using its resume builder or upload multiple resumes. Each resume will get a unique, permanent URL that you can send to potential employers, who can download them in six different formats: DOC, PDF, RTF, ODT, HTML, and TXT. It also lets you e-mail, fax, or mail resumes and sync your resume with other job sites. Emurse is free for everyone, though I'm not sure if there are charges for faxing or mailing services.
So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
