Jobirn is a new type of job search network where job seekers can get a “referral” to their desired job. It’s still in “alpha” stages but does look promising with the new niche they have created to differentiate from all the “other” job search sites. (Thanks Bruce for the tip!)
Jobirn is free referral network that connects applicants with employees inside the company where they would like to work. Jobirn makes connecting easy through features available inside the website such as video conferencing, chat and thousands of jobs. We helps job seekers get a referral to their ideal job, and company insiders find the right candidate. If you are a hiring manager or a recruiter, Jobirn is also a free recruitment platform.
Jobirn believes through company employee referral network, both recruitment and job hunt will be more efficient and effective. First, employees can create greater value to the company. Jobirn aggregates video interview and instant web-chat ( now support Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, GTalk and AIM.) for referrers easy to refer a candidate. Second, hunting job through referral network is times more effective than job board, which you can get immediate response and useful resource.
Japancast.net features lots of videos and podcasts to help you learn “real” street Japanese. It’s an interesting idea and a very good niche so keep you eyes on this one.
If your Japanese skills don’t go beyond arigato and konichiwa then JapanCast may be perfect for you. The site teaches Japanese you’d hear on the street, the type you’d learn from watching Anime all day—in fact the site uses Anime in its lessons. Hitomi, your sensei, will teach you Japanese via podcasts.

iRead, is a Facebook/MySpace application for organizing your favorite books.
It looks like a great niche social network done right using Facebook app as the piggyback method.
Great job guys, keep up the great work! They are also making apps for other social networking sites, maybe it’s time that they create one of their own under their domain name. (That might be the killer revenue for them and also build a brand…)
iRead is an application and online community for book lovers. Once registered, you list, rate, and write reviews about books you are reading or what you have read in the past.
