The Job Board

Just a quick note — there’s some fine-tuning going on around the Jobs section of the site, and the types of back-fill job listings that are included.

Hopefully this will help to get rid of some of the irrelevant jobs that end up in the list.

Stay tuned.

What Would You Do With $7 Million

Well, for our friends over at Balihoo, that answer is to “expand sales and marketing efforts as it continues to build its impressive roster of national clients.”

Or translated:

Balihoo raised $7 Million in new funding recently to “help national brands market themselves at the local level.”  It was covered elsewhere last week, but it was worth noting here as well.

The funding was led by OpenView Venture Partners, with additional contributions made by existing investors Highway 12 Ventures and Lacuna Gap Capital.

Congratulations to the team over at Balihoo, and we expect to continue to see good things coming from them.

So, if you’re ready to once again hurl obscenities at a little white ball for an afternoon in early October, here’s what you need to know:
