Facebook is the next HotJobs

August 24, 2007

Typing...right...This amazing ad greeted me tonight when I logged into Facebook tonight. Evidently this wholesome woman makes $4,000 per month “typing” at home…and so can I.

It’s good to see such highly targeted advertising. I’m happy to see that Facebook did a bang-up job matching my batchelors degree in computer science to a typing job. I spend all day typing during my day job, I might as well make some money on the side moonlighting as a “typist”…right? Unfortunately, judging by the picture, I appear to be unqualified. Perhaps I could fill in the gaps in my education with some night courses at the local junior college.

It’s too bad we don’t serve more relevant ads like this on Yahoo! Mail, they’d probably get clicked a lot more often. I’ll have to take that one up with the ad department.

    Luke, yes…actually. The latest version of Yahoo! Mail (no longer called Beta) supports Safari 3:
