If the word "crisis" appears in your job description, you'll want to keep an eye on these Web sites:
PlanetFeedback.com. Founded by a former P&G marketing manager, the site harvests comments and complaints about specific corporations. The site founder hopes to
package this content and sell it to corporations in the form of market research.
Vault.com. Offers the online equivalent of watercooler talk for job
hunters who want the "real" skinny on prospective company environments. Visitors
to the site can post anonymous indictments of their past and present employers
anonymously as a "public service" to other job seekers. In fact, the site is
now linked to the popular career site HotJobs.com... which means traffic is
getting heavier.
AirPassengerComplaints.com.
Lost luggage? Cancelled flights? Bad food? Disgruntled consumers are logging them in here.
WordofMouth.com. Founded by the Minneapolis Star Tribune, the site invites readers to log comments and complaints about local community services - including nonprofit
organizations like the YMCA.
Anonymizer.com. Allows visitors to mask their identity and surf web pages without anyone knowing their true IP addresses.
ManicMail.net. Allows visitors to sign up and change their email addresses, assuming the identity of virtually anyone - John Travolta, Fidel Castro,Hillary Clinton? No
problem. Emails sent via ManicMail are very hard to trace.
