Oops. We don’t know you as well as we wish we did

Hm.

Prediction: University.net — Subscription Model for Colleges and Universities

Revised: 4/4/07 @ 1:34pm MST
I saw a bumper-sticker the other day that said:
“Education is what’s left over when you forgot everything you learned in school.”

Compare Salaries By Location

I am still jiving over Indeed’s new tool for Salary Search.
I was just mashing up some results when I realized the tool nicely allows comparison of salary among localities, or globally (as far as Indeed’s system is concerned, anyway).

Ever since I heard about Indeed, I have been a fan. Aggregated jobs search results in one place–alerts by email or RSS/XML.
