http://www.workpost.com

Bought workpost.com in 2003, intending to turn it into some kind of work / labor-related site (a place to find and post work etc.). Years later, we're finally doing something with it.

Even back then, it was not particularly easy to find a good domain name..


This is happening to people in all sorts of industries.


Not bad actually, if you're not just scraping results from other engines (or even if you are), you should keep working on this. When I did searches, I actually found links I was looking for in the first few results. Name is strange but it could grow on me.

duck duck go it!


Start on basic hosting and upgrade as needed. Ultimahosts.net, ASmallorange.com, Webfaction.com are good. Move up to Slicehost.. Rackspace... and if you're too big for Rackspace... you might already have the resources to start your own hosting company.


So... Godzilla might be real after all.


Go English majors!

At my college we had "Faces and Places" a.k.a the "Meet Book" otherwise known as the "Meat Book." I don't remember it specifically called the "Face Book" but I don't think it's a stretch to think that kids at many other schools would have called it that.


Yes. http://www.workpost.com runs on ASP.NET. And like every technology, it has advantages and disadvantages.


Talk to a few good plumbers and you'll realize that they are all set. Kids these days want to go to college and get "white collar" jobs and this has created a huge opportunity for smart people who work in the trades.
