    Yobbers.com

    Hi guys,
    I created a website called http://www.yobbers.com. It's a job finding site. The idea is to find all the companies in the U.S. have a link to the main webpage, then have another link going to the webpage that contains either all the jobs they have, or the site where you can start searching for a position.

    Basically trying to create a street that has every company in the U.S. on it. All you have to do is systematically walk down it and knock on every door, say "Have a job?"
    Yes: Ok, lets see what you have? I'm interested in this, this and this.
    No: Ok, moving on.

    So far I have 800+ companies listed all over the U.S. with concentrations in San Diego, and Vermont. You can also ad a company into the database and it will be there forever! This is more of a personal project to me and I have no intentions of taking it down. Plus, I feel like I'm doing my part to help solve the unemployment problem in this country. (10%, whatever policies are in place don't work!)

    If anyone has any suggestions that would be great. One of the larger problems I have to fill the database. Basically the way I see it there's two ways to solve that problem. Either just enter the data manually (very boring) or create a screen scraper where every page is different. (Sounds very difficult)

    You can add designs to your website... rather than plain text...
    It will be visually attractive, if you include some graphics and animations...

    You can add the BING Maps API on your website to display a map of all the locations listed in the job search. Allowing the user to search by location could be another feature.
