hey, thanks for the informed, polite commentary & constructive feedback. uh, not.
personally, i appreciate a friendly interaction regardless of whether the task i'm performing is simple or complex. but if you prefer, there's plenty of other sites out there that are dry & impersonal. go for it.
on the other hand, i take issue with your remark our approach somehow implies we're not serious. it's certainly possible to be relevant as well as human. whether or not you appreciate the humor, we've spent the last few years building a site which indexes job listings from all over the web, provides a number of different features for managing market research on companies & people connected with the job, and in general helps people find jobs they might otherwise not come across. most folks seem to like our approach.
but if all you're looking for is data & functionality -- well, we got your jobs right *here*, know what i mean?;)
hey, even google & yahoo have a sense of personality. not everyone needs a HAL 9000 around to make sure they're being taken seriously.
how about a little sense of humor and/or personality?
so many employment & job search sites out there are completely devoid of a human sensibility or fun. who says you can't be useful yet still enjoy the ride...
