Martin Roell has [finally ;-)] managed to get his
JobBlog online.
It's a blog about unemployed people he knows, and whom he trusts to be a good-working or professional one.
Personally, I think this is a very eager attempt to get his "blogosphere-fame" focussed and applied to helping people. If they are recommended by a known E-Business blogger, they can't be that bad at all, can they?
Of course, what is necessary for this ambitious attempt, is a well-selected sense of quality for the persons he suggests. I think this can only end up good, because I don't see a thing which is bad about all of this. It could be disregarded completely by the persons in higher positions, but then it doesn't do bad at all.
One drawback (as I see it) is, that you can put yourself into the blog without Martin knowing you: By paying for your 'advertisement'. That somehow spoils the whole intention of it, but I'll see as to how the relation from personal <-> commercial turns out, before I really complain about it.
But keep this one in mind. And even though this is a commercial-like use of a blog, it uses the social structure of the blogosphere in a social way. I'm curious about what others will say about the project. And I hope to get updated on the site if it works, after all. Good luck to all of you involved into the
JobBlog.
