Another Vertical Search Endorsement
Walter Mossberg reported today in the Wall Street Journal on two more Vertical Search enterprises that are in beta. I would put in a link here, but as you know unless you are a subscriber to wsj.com, you will not be able to read this online (too bad Dow Jones cannot figure out that they are missing out on lots of powerful traffic and advertising opportunities).
The first site reported on is ziggs.com, which according to Mossberg "helps you find people with particular skills or other characteristics for hiring or networking purposes." The second service, indeed.com, "lists job openings by city, state, title, company name and key word. It retrieves these openings from job sites, newspaper ad sites, and corporate and association sites."
Vertical Search is the next big growth area for the Search industry. Hundreds of companies are being formed around vertical topics. There is no stopping the Search juggernaut.
