Jobfox - the eHarmony of job sites?

I just spent 20 minutes on this site and feel like it knows me better than any prospective employer has ever known me.

Since I wasted that much time at work already, I'll forgo writing a full entry about this, and summarize what I would have written in the following analogy:

Jobfox : Monster/CareerBuilders/HotJobs :: eHarmony : Craigslist Personals

They get bonus points for the "boss over shoulder" link at the bottom. This is a welcome nod to the computer gaming industry of the 80's and early 90's.

If you want to be really wowed, go here and click on some objects in the experience map:

cross-pollination diversifies innovation (or Kyle eats Greek pizza covered in Curry)

By happy accident, I had neglected to serve my self rice at nearby Cafe 14 here on the Mountain View campus when I noticed they were serving up some delicious shrimp curry. I had some sort of bean mash in one of the compartments of my to-go box, and in the other was a slice of Greek pizza with feta, goat cheese, and peppers. One of these was going to be covered in shrimp curry.

At first, I hovered the saucy serving spoon a over the bean mash, but then thought better of it and instead let the delicious crustaceans plop onto the pizza, followed by their bath of coconut milk.

Back at my desk, after eating most of the shrimp, I decided to try the Greek pizza, which had now soaked in curry for about 15 minutes.

And the clouds parted.
