It's great when in times like this you can actually find an optimist. According to the Orange County Register , things are getting worse at a slower rate! As the young people who work for me say on IM, "Woot!" I haven't figured out yet what that actually stands for, nor did I know several words in SNL's Sarah/Hilary skit. Anyway, the article resumes the media's insatiable demand for bad news by quoting a staffing company: "Kim Megonigal, president of Kimco Staffing Services in Irv

You Never IM, You Never Skype,You Never Facebook.

I loved this Bruce Kaplan cartoon in the latest issue of the New Yorker, but I wonder why he opted for "never page" instead of the now more ubiquitous facebook or IM. Recycled humor from years past? It might seem that the cartoon has no relevance to recruitment software, but the proliferation of ways to make contact makes for a complex software problem.

Seth Godin points out that over-the-top service just isn't so over the top anymore. He's got a point because for nurse staffing firms it's a necessity. Their patients don't stop needing care just because everyone else is sleeping. And when nursing recruiters need help with computers in the middle of the night, they require over-the-top service as well.

Segways may be expensive and impractical for many of us, but for this visionary who had a business problem and the drive to solve it, Segway made for the perfect solution.
