    > Strategic partnerships?

    Job boards are tough. For a one-off board, strategic partnerships are the key - a most reliable way to get critical mass. i.e. The 37signals Job Board would be useless if 37signals weren't pushing eyeballs there constantly. Who will push eyeballs your way over the long haul?

    Alternatively, you might try and white label the tool. Then charge newspapers or community activists to set up boards for their chosen vertical/local community. Different market, but much better business to be in.

    The design is not bad, but could use some work (a little cluttered). The brand is weak, I'd try again there. my 2 cents!
