Scott Haug, a buddy of mine at Jobster, has entered the world of blogging with his first post to mockhaug.

Scott is the consummate developer and software designer. He’s a force to be reckoned with when it comes to open source frameworks and technologies. And he knows how to make funny noises with his hands.

Check out his blog, sure to be worth the read.

I’m proud to note that the Jobster pilot shipped today. I haven’t spoken too frequently about Jobster in this space, but in the list of “things that I care about” it ranks near the top.

At Jobster, I feel we are building a great team and doing work that means something, which (ironically enough) is to help people build great teams and find meaningful work. If you help someone find a better job, you give them a better life.

Intenet technologies can lead to a web of trust, but they can also generate a sea of spam and isolation. Unfortunately, job boards fall in the latter category. The recruiter, or the worthy candidate, has to contend with a flood of resume spam, making it impossible for good people to stand out. The jobs that would meaningful and personally relevant to you are impossible to find, the teams that you would like to work with are invisible.

At Jobster, we want to make the internet and technology a force for good, not evil, in the quest to help individuals and companies connect– to develop a working ecosystem and web of trust that benefits everyone involved.

By the way, when I refer to the internet, I mean the real, open internet, not a walled garden that jealously guards its borders. The combined wealth of interlinked information and communities in the internet will beat a walled garden every time.

I’ll post updates on Jobster’s progress to this space. It’s going to be a fun ride!
