Earlier this week - online dating

Our show earlier this week centred around Online Dating. We analysed and compared four online dating sites: manhunt, gaydar, silver daddies, and pink sofa.

We discussed some of the issues brought on by Social Networking, and the challenges it has posed to employers and their employees.

We also looked into the Social Networking side of the XBox 360.

The Podcast is now available from our JOY page: joy.org.au/technogaze

Coming up 7pm tonight: Online Recruitment in the world of Web 2.0

Tonight's show will consist of a couple of interviews, providing insight from two perspectives on the Online Recruitment industry. The first with Thomas Shaw, Managing Director of Recruitment Directory Australia. Thomas will bring us his thoughts on what the Web 2.0 phenomenon, partcularly social networking, is doing to the industry.

Our second interview will be with Jason Shaw, a recent successful job applicant, who used the tools we're all familiar with. He'll bring us his thoughts on what's good and bad about the various job board sites available, and some good job seeking habits to get into.

And, we'd like to point out that Jason and Thomas, even though they have the surname, are not related. One's from NZ, the other a local boy. We'll leave it an excersise to the listener to figure out who's from where.

We'll also discuss the recent high-profile appointment of an Island Caretaker for the Whitsundays, by Queensland Tourism.

I hope you can join us. Tune in to JOY 94.9 tonight at 7pm, or visit our page to download the podcast shortly after.
