The funny part is I actually got a good one out of it, Ebay for Resume's. In thinking about it, a site where you could upload your resume and prospective employers could ask questions that you could answer as feedback available to all prospective employers, then they could bid up salary and perks would be cool. It could work, I would not pursue it because I have too many irons in the fire, but it could work and done correctly could be a great idea. It works with market principals because people are going to bid to their relative worth. Companies would hate it, but with unemployment at 2.7% in tech it would be a way to expose them to talent that is generally not available if they are willing to bid for it.

I also got Facebook for Adults, which I took as sad commentary on the state of the world.
