jobloft.com Fri, Oct 20. 2006
Jobloft.com was on cbc Dragon den the other day and got bought out. Oh wait a minute that was only 50 %, so invested in. A little high percent, though the experience for them will be well worth it. The next companies that these people (Andy Lai, Lee Liu, Chris Nguyen and Sundeep Mokha) go into will be better.
The good - A great job at getting clients to signup and get their name out there. So long as they keep their relationship with their customers and their site in line with their users then they will do well.
Problems with jobloft.com is that the site is easy to duplicate software and design wise. Content can be retrieved form other sources. Easy to duplicate as in development time is measured in days or weeks.
Two things can spell the end for the company, one a key creative person leaves and is not replaced. Someone elses features are much more attractive to the workers. This is always the problem with basing your pitch on features.
The root success their success is the connections they made vs the features that they talk about.

Myspace is not always the way to go, I have seen many communities which are small and do very well. Smaller size can result in higher quality.
