Actually I started to build something that is a job search "augmentation" tool, it uses the Indeed.com API and uses a roll-out sidebar to list job openings and then you can go through them and then mark them blocked, applied to, saved, etc to filter through them so you never have to look at the full list again, I built the original solution using the Java stack and used it a bit for my own purposes, now that I'm getting more into Ruby I think I might rebuild it using Rails and see if I can make it into a more fully featured application, I think there is potential to add in more features similar to what you have mentioned (like being able to associate contact names with a job ad, etc). On a side note, something I have realized is how fundamentally broken and annoying a lot of companies' job application process is. The sites that make you create an account on some barely working site that looks like it was built in 1995, then force you to basically manually fill out pieces of your resume into various input fields, are rather appalling. It is a good way to filter out the companies that probably wold suck to work for though as you can tell right away how much they care about interfacing with their employees.
