thank you for your comment.

The term “I’ve got a pimple on my bum” was first used in anger by Irish comedian Dave Allen, who used it to describe things that 5 year olds might find fascinating. I’ve since used it a few times to describe irrelevant personal details (as opposed to blogging about the life changing personal stuff .

At last count Technorati was tracking 109 million blogs - most of them inactive. You are right - without relevance a blog dies.

thank you for your comment.

I think that they were just going on what they’d been told by a “social computing in recruitment expert”.

Adoption curves do vary between organisations, and I do like the way Greg and the Happener crew do things - albeit that they are in a slightly different space than some of the other firms you mentioned.

And no bad thing that they use WordPress

Cheers, Andrew

Compare the approach at more traditional recruitment companies like Greythorn, M&T, Candle, etc. who are all way behind the curve in terms of both practice and personnel with the new guys at places like Happener where they totally understand the market and the people they are doing work for on both the client and candidate side.

Frankly Happener are starting to eat everyone else’s lunch. And more power to them. They are popular, understand the market and even use WordPress to run their site.
