    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)
