I just discovered Recruit.net through the Web 2.0 indeces somewhere. These guys are doing it right in my opinion. They are leveraging 3rd party data (job postings), allowing customization (profiles with resumes), really clean interface, well placed ads and a site that works.
I think they can work on their search function - I tried playing around with different terms and with a mix of operators and wasn’t highly impressed with my results and result sort options. They currently only feature Australia, China, Hong Kong, India, Japan and Singapore; maybe more countries would be good.

There has been a lot of talk about Lifestreams in the recent months. There are a bunch of services out there that can handle this, like Jaiku and iStalkr even sites like Tumblr can handle all the various feeds from different sites and show them on your tumblr blog. People are doing things with Yahoo! Pipes and posting the single rss feed into their Facebook profiles and what not.
There is a lot of talk whether your facebook status, twitter updates, blog posts, comments, diggs, last.fm faves, flickr photos and everything else out there should be consolidated into one page. Its not that we do not do these things online or leave our online crumbs for somebody to follow, already. It’s just putting all this together isn’t something that appeals to the paranoid. This is the same bunch of people who threw a fit when Google Mail or gmail (as we have come to love it now) launched and declared that they would be placing contextual ads by indexing our mails.
For the rest of us, who are with it - check out Lifestream Blog.

I got these lights at Radical Illumination 2006 in Toronto. This was a very interesting social experiment that I just ran into online and decided to check out. About two hundred people showed up (from ravers to photogs, passer bys to uni students) and were handed these small ‘Throwies’. Everybody was then led over to the middle of the intersection where they blocked off a streetcar and started throwing these on it. Right about when the ‘party’ was broken up by 4-5 cop cars. I wish I had captured the moment when 100s of these tiny lights were raining on the streetcar (need new and better equipment)
I couldn’t help myself but make different alphabets of these throwies. And which better word to spell than L-O-V-E. right?

This video is hilarious, but it does an awesome job at highlighting some differences between men and women.
