#12Ok, it's a good idea

Anyway, we shall give it a try, I tweeted it (http://twitter.com/omarabid/status/1503823559)

#13A few comments: - the tagging tool doesn't work well, tried Senior System Administrator, didn't find category, same for CTO - I tried "CTO at companyx, Montreal, Canada" it showed "text too short" - you might wanna also weigh in the number of followers to rank the tweets. I think a twitter bot will have less interesting tweets (auto-generated tweets), while a company's official twitter account will have much more fol…
The popularity of a job is decided by the number of followers or messages that refer to same url, which can be seen in 'Popular' tab.

We wanted to differentiate the job tweets sent by bots from the job discussions done by actual twitter users. Thats the reason behind going for '#rtjobs' (re-tweet-jobs) instead of the popularly used tag '#jobs'.

#14Couple of design/usability things I see: - Using a stock font included with OSX (Marker Felt) for the logo would not have been my first choice. And, marker Felt reminds me of comic-sans. - The logo is not matted properly, I can see a square box around it of a lighter shade of gray. Could be due to color shifts with your color profiles in Photoshop, or your original file is CMYK and is being converted to RGB when you…
Thanks for the feedback, this will help a lot to make the application more usable. We have added these issues to the forthcoming release.

Hi, we are toying around an idea of letting users browse jobs using Maps. This will remove the job search problem caused due to quantized geocoding. For ex: Dallas is tagged as "TX". A map search will get rid of such problem.
