Interesting idea, it was only a matter of time before someone applied the "Social Graph + foo" idea to jobs. The jobs space is pretty crowded & competitive though, we already have: - obvious places like LinkedIn or craigslist - freelance sites like odesk or elancer - Q&A sites like stackexchange - portfolio sites are getting in (github) - expert/consultant sites like Gerson Lehrman - a ton of "job referral" sites that have failed or suck And I can't imagine it would take much for LinkedIn to compete on any features they roll out. That said, it's a big money industry. They're just going to need a massive marketing push to get people to actually use it.
