I’ve been thinking about job boards and discussing them with some of the others in RefreshMiami a bunch lately. I know they burst onto the scene years ago (I’m talking niche job boards). So it turns out that from my 10 minute research, these features on sites (none I know of are standalone sites), are grossing almost a million dollars a year!

The top earner in the category is 37Signals Job board with over $30k/month in earnings. The second biggest earner of the bunch is not who I had expected, it is Cameron Moll’s AuthenticJobs, which is generating close to $20k/month. The AuthenticJobs is really impressive considering its a one man shop running it. Hats off Cam for making such a successful job board. Here is a link to the spreadsheet below.

Right now I would say its about 6 months away from being something you should consider building your apps around, but not quite there yet.  The OpenID group needs to clarify and dumb down what they are trying to do.  Once the masses, or at least the techcrunch masses get wind of this, and all understand how to use it, then you should start looking at it with a watchful eye.  This is sort of a problem of the chicken and egg (everything is... i know, i know) do you spend the money developing for this ...

After reading Karel Baloun's post on facebook over at mashable, one thing stuck out in my mind: Karel argues that yahoo doesn't seem to tie its properties in together. He uses 360, flickr, upcoming, and delicious as examples where yahoo has failed to integrate the sites together, but what if they just aren't there yet? Imagine the potential for anyone of their services if they tied upcoming into 360 (and actually pushed 360), or delicious and flickr? They have all these loosely related services which ultimately could ... Continue reading
