Isn't this pretty much what YCombinator startup Overhear.us is doing?
- rokhayakebe 19y agoOverhear lets you talk about your workplace in general thats it. I want a place where i can say I HATE being President of a Multinational ... My dream job would be to open a coffee shop and have special drinks like MAC latte, GeekMochachino....I dunno. some place where the future "tech billionaires" will come hang out and trade me some stocks for free coffee....
- yubrew 19y agoI think overhear.us is a place where you can bitch about your job, but doesn't offer any way to do anything about it. Rokhayakebe is suggesting to fix this problem via social networking. I think the alternatives are the intact networks that people use to find new jobs (alumni, friends, professionals, head hunters). How will it compete with Facebook? Right now on Facebook, I can search by employer of interest (e.g. Google, McKinsey, etc) and it will pop up the closest contacts by some sort of FoaF distance algorithm. I can friend them and message them to open up a dialogue.
- rokhayakebe 19y agoThat is a good start. Who ever wants to do it should add audio and video support. just so I can say this SH?? out loud. That would make me feel good.
