?? I have no idea what coolade you’re drinking (no pun intended)… but this site gets 3 out of 5 max! There is no messaging other than “the trading floor for social responsibility”. After spending 5 minutes reading your blog, I could not figure out if I were even on the correct site or not. They might as well put “restore the judiciary” as a tag line.

Too dilute and confusing for anyone to signup organically….

Osama,

Thanks so much for talking with Martin and writing about JustMeans! In response to some of the comments, we are definitely working on usability and first impression clarity. We just launched our “dynamic” (DHTML) version of the homepage, so users can organize news, jobs, companies, etc. according to their interests. Also addressing ob’s confusion, users don’t have to search through company profiles for job listings, they can simply use the “jobs” section of the site to search listings by company, region, field and more.

I hope that clears some things up. I also want to remind you and your readers that JustMeans is a social responsibility platform for individuals that aren’t necessarily seeking a job (we offer networking, news, blogs) and we also have an expert tech team that has mastered social media build-outs for socially responsible companies.

Thanks again for learning and writing about JustMeans! Stay in touch!

Best,

ah.. interesting, but I will pass on it. As a candidate who is looking for a job I don’t have the patience nor the time to go through company profiles like this.. i think the bigger help would be just to connect with my contacts who work at xyz companies.. ie. linkedin

lets see where this idea goes..

Hi Ob,

Check out networks -> timberland. That should give you an idea about this.

Corona, what would be your criteria for something to be innovative and new?

did i miss something on the site? I created an account spent good amount of “first” impression time to see what its all about and I didn’t get the killer feeling here..

i am sure i missed something ..

Nice.

I would have more appreciated it if they would have done this much good work on some innovative new product.

Still it’s cool
