AllTop – Cool Pharma News Site

July 7th, 2009 0 Comments

I came across this news aggregator site. They call it a “personal, online magazine rack” and its a  pretty nice way of seeing whats hot at any moment in pharma (or any other topic for that matter), by pulling info in from various blogs and feeds.

…of course, you can create your own collection and then share that. I can’t see any way of adding your own though but maybe I’m missing something…

There is a widget though… it allows you to post last 5 pharma news items on your website. Of course you have no control over them..

I’ve also submitted PharmiWeb’s news RSS and this Blog’s RSS to them for inclusion… lets wait and see :-)

Update…

PharmiWeb news and PharmiMike news is now included on the alltop pharma channel. cool.

You guessed it .. another Twitter Job Board

Another job board powered by Twitter and recycling content that already exists. Nice to see we are in there, but so far I’ve had a single click through!

It does make me think more about my Twitter strategy for PharmiWeb. Currently I’m pushing out selections of jobs on various categories (client, region, job) to a number of different twitter accounts, but its getting more and more complicated as I add more, and harder to keep track.  I’m actually not that convinced about the responses or the quality of the candidates we get from it, bu it does constitute “noise” so I guess its a form of marketing!

Another Twitter based job board

This one looks reasonably organised, and has a reasonable interface. Largely US based, but currently free to post, but only manually and limited to 5 ads per hour or 12 ads in a 24 hour period.

They have an API (geekspeak for you can get a computer to talk to it) to allow you to query their jobs, but not one for posting jobs. I’ve requested that thet pick up feeds from PharmiWeb.com – we’ll see.

Indeed.com “Sponsored adverts”

June 29th, 2009 0 Comments

I’ve signed up for some sponsored adverts on the Aggregator Board, Indeed.com. They already pick up our feeds and we get a fair amount of traffic from them that converts reasonably well. Their sign up process was relatively painless and it all goes onto a credit card. Interestingly they request that we put a piece of Javascript code on the “Thankyou for applying for the job” page so that they can track conversions (in the same way that Google Analytics does. Not a bad idea.

I’ll run it for 1 month and see how we get on.
