For Jeff Taylor, founder and chairman of Monster.com and a longtime observer of the employment tea leaves, the hot-button issue of jobs moving abroad ignores what he thinks is a cold, hard fact: The biggest job-related challenge in this country is likely to be too many jobs, not too few. This Web Exclusive offers Taylor's argument on why the aging of the baby boomers means dynamism, not depression, for job seekers.

One way to solve your social networking needs is to acquire.

Congrats to James Currier et al.

Mo nster Acquires Tickle, Inc..

Thanks ever so much to Peter Caputa’s, Monster Buys Tickle, who in turn attributes to Rafat Ali’s Paid Content, for the heads up on this announcement—as I was totally distracted by other events in my life today!

According to the Business Wire press release that was also in my newsreader:

Tickle has also proven to be a strong viral marketing engine, as more than 200,000 e-mails from Tickle members are sent each day encouraging others to join.

 ”The acquisition of Tickle brings a powerful new dimension to Monster, contributing proven consumer revenue-generating subscription offerings and unique interactive content that should enhance every site in our network of properties,” said Andrew J. McKelvey, Chairman and CEO of Monster Worldwide. “Tickle’s expertise in career assessment testing, networking and matching, combined with the viral nature of those businesses, dovetails perfectly with Monster’s vast user base. With scientific research at its foundation, Tickle adds yet another layer to Monster’s screening and hiring tools, providing recruiters a window into a candidate’s personality and work preferences that goes beyond past achievements to who they are and their fit within the hiring organization. As part of our long-term strategy, we have been committed to diversifying our revenue streams and to expanding our consumer online services. Tickle is the ideal business to help us achieve these goals.”

 The addition of Tickle’s services will enable job seekers on Monster to access a variety of career assessment tests ranging from “Right Job, Wrong Job” and ” Career Personality” to “Career Interest Inventory” and “The Corporate Culture Test” to learn more about their aptitudes, job skills and career goals. Based on the test findings, job seekers will be able to better determine which job positions are the best fit based on their individual profiles.

Tap & Tickle and Stick Shadows

Tap & Tickle and Stick Shadows 06/03/2004 12:37 AM

Wow!  This sounds cool.  Thanks Jonas!

S ocialighting It.

Well, I haven't heard back from Socialight, yet, but - gratuitous use of the term "social network" aside - this seems like a fun thing to try out. In a nutshell, Socialight is a cellphone application (currently for Symbian enabled phones), which provides the user with two distinct features - the suggestively named "tap & tickle" as well as "stick shadows".

The former simply boils down to a remote controlling of someone else's "vibrate" function, turning the target phone into a very high-tech version of an expensive handbuzzer. Tap the joystick (yes, this is suggestive, I know) and your target's phone will vibrate. Hold the stick, or shake it, and the tickling will go on for some time. Which is, btw, a nice way to drain someone else's batteries, if you're so inclined.

The latter is more interesting. "Sticky Shadows" are multimedia notes placeable virtually anywhere. A Socialight enabled phone crossing the location of such a note will retrieve and display the associated text, picture, sound, or video. This makes for a number of great uses. Virtual scavenger hunts are the more playful variants, location aware reminders ("Get milk while you're here, love Mum") or guided tours ("At this location, in 1953...") make for real world uses.

An interesting idea. I'll be waiting to test it out in actual scenarios. Once I do have it, expect a repetition of the infamous semacoding-the-city incident of 2004 :)

I can't tell whether this "Toaster Fetish" kitchen appliance porn gallery is parody or straightahead smut. Either way, someone out there in this big wide world is probably wanking off to it. At kinserotica is so five minutes ago. Clearly, the hot-buttered temptation of Porn Bread has arrived. Who can resist her sultry, carb-hither gaze? Link to Fleshbot post, NSFW.

Kim Jong Il's fanatical food fetish

Kim Jong Il's fanatical food fetish 06/26/2004 10:42 AM
Todays' LA Times has a great story about North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il's obsession with expensive, exotic food. He sends trusted aides all over the world to buy morsels of gourmet food and eats sashimi carved from live fish, while his subjects dig in the dirt with sticks looking for bugs to eat.

Kim insists that his rice be cooked over a wood fire using trees cut from Mt. Paektu, a legendary peak on the Chinese border, according to a memoir written by a nephew of Kim's first wife. He has his own private source of spring water. Female workers inspect each grain of rice to ensure that they meet the leader's standards. (The nephew, Lee Young Nam, who defected to South Korea in the 1980s, was assassinated by suspected North Korean agents in Seoul in 1997.)

Kim's refined palate is not merely a matter of idle gossip, but the subject of serious study by political psychologists trying to understand the North Korean leadership.

Jerrold M. Post, a psychiatrist who founded and was the longtime director of the CIA's Center for the Analysis of Personality and Political Behavior, says Kim's obsession with eating the best food comes from being the son of North Korean founder Kim Il Sung, revered by the propaganda machine as a god-like figure. Post diagnosed the younger Kim as a malign narcissist in large part based on information about his eating habits.

"This is how you prepare food and water for a god."

The former South Korean Ambassador says this is a good thing: "Kim Jong Il loves life. He is a drinker, a womanizer, a gourmet. To start a war requires an ascetic like Hitler who doesn't care if he lives or dies. But I can't see Kim starting a war that he will surely lose." Link

Weirding-edge fetish vocab from Japan

Weirding-edge fetish vocab from Japan 04/11/2004 08:56 PM
Here's a great glossary of outré kinks exemplefied in cuttin-edge Japanese pr0n.

chin chin kenkyu - (literally "study of the penis"). Chin-chin is a cute, childish term for penis. In chin-chin-kenkyu videos, average women on the street are given a lecture about the penis by some porno actors. The 'professional' will measure the penis, and describe how to make it stand up. there's lots of reaction shots of the embarrassed average women. it's kind of Benny Hill.
