Social Network format for development – NicheBoard.com

We recently launched http://www.NicheBoard.com, a social network site for jobseekers, employers and recruiters as a sister site to http://www.NicheJobs.com network.

The idea is to use social networking to get employment and in this case find niche jobs. We want to see how this works and so far its too early to tell.

The idea is eventually to be as focussed as possible…and social networking formats are one way to go. Ning is a provider of such a website format and have seen other sites run on this platform…

Will keep you updated on how its goes…feel free to join http://www.NicheBoard.com and network for jobs…
