- Bill_Dimm 11y agoI remember thinking "I guess they want to get more of the tech community's mindshare to promote their job board" when Dice bought Slashdot. With the way they've alienated the tech community by trashing Slashdot and SourceForge, I wonder how many tech people will use their job board now.
- dm2 11y agoOne problem is that people looking for jobs are usually inexperienced with it, so there is constantly an unusually large supply of "fresh meat". There should be more regulation on the jobs market. It's a data-mining goldmine and fake job postings aren't illegal as far as I'm aware of.
