<p style="margin:0;padding:0">I thought about this problem some time ago and created <a href="http://roundabout.io" target="_blank">http://roundabout.io</a>.<br><br>However I wonder now if it's yet another website that we need. There<br>
are others like: <a href="http://workinstartups.com/" target="_blank">http://workinstartups.com/</a> and<br><a href="http://www.coderstack.co.uk/" target="_blank">http://www.coderstack.co.uk/</a>, and none seems to be ridding us of this<br>
problem. What should a job listing implement to work for us?<br><br>.r<br><br>On Mon, Sep 17, 2012 at 1:41 PM, Louis Goff-Beardsley<br><<a href="mailto:louisror@gmail.com" target="_blank">louisror@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br>
