In short and in anwer to your poll to gather just why the site has fallen from grace – publish something other than weekly job board updates and use the site for something more than a platform to publicise your other ventures.
It used to be that they had regular updates and some promise in what was to be published in the coming weeks/days. Now they just seem to have more job adverts for us and no real amount of content to read.
As of this post – their last 7 RSS entries are 5 weekly job sum ups, a review of Microsoft Expression Web and one post including their poll to ask a load of questions to their readers. Need I say more?
Thanks for saying this Jay, I was beginning to wonder whether I accidentally subscribed to the jobs board RSS. But yeah I would like to see more content
It’s a little silly, I really don’t the point of the advisory point either – if I was on that board I would have suggested actually putting something on the site several times by now.
Looking at the board there’s a lot of talent on there – and you’ve got to question if they are actually ‘advising’ at all given the sites current status.
They need to keep the jobs feed out of the main RSS feed. It’s one of the main selling points for the job board yes – but I don’t want to look at their job board and if I did – i’d subscribe to the feed. It doesn’t need to be forced upon people.
