I wonder which of his other ones are still going strong. Jobbook seems abandoned even though it was a great idea (or at least, addresses a real need).
There are a lot of organizations doing really good watchdog work -- the problem is getting people to pay attention.
- henning 19y agoSometimes it's impossible to resist the appealing thought that there are purely technological solutions to social problems.
- randallsquared 19y agoTechnology is the only thing that has ever solved social problems. You just have to find the right technological solution. :)
- aaronsw 19y agoOpen Library, the other main thing I've been working on, is set to go 1.0 this week. So I guess that could be a qualified success. I did a more detailed review of projects on my blog: http://www.aaronsw.com/weblog/projects2007 http://www.aaronsw.com/weblog/projects2007 Jobbook was a project I was doing with Seth Roberts; it got abandoned largely because Seth's publisher demanded that he stop working on it and focus on finishing his real book. If someone else wants to pick it that would be cool; I agree it addresses a real need.

- aaronsw 19y agoI typically just put them on the Web myself; if they make money I discuss with my partners what to do with it. If any of them were to make a lot of money, I'd probably start an S-corp or something to reduce the tax liability, but it's never gotten to that point yet.
