Tag A Friend - Jorbb.com releases new feature


Hi Jorbbers / Jorbbees, we have just rolled out a new feature to reinforce our social networking initiatives. Jorbb.com now has Tag A Friend built into the platform.

So your friends are on Jorbb.com and you want to know what jobs they've recently applied for, or perhaps you occasionally do part time work as an IT Show promoter and will like to link up with fellow Jorbbees (Job Seekers) with the same interests.
What about "bookmarking" Jorbbers (Employers) who frequently post out casual work like flyer distribution or short term project based work requests.

Well now you can!

How to Tag A Friend?

After you login, when you Search for Jorbbers / Jorbbees, you will see this "+" icon in the mini profile, click on it, the icon turns to a "-" and you've Tagged him/her. You can tag both Jorbbers and Jorbbees. To untag, just click the "-" and you will no longer tag him/her. Easy ya?


Now, what then? Jorbbees go to Profile page (or Account page for Jorbbers) and you will find this on the right panel. Ok fine, so I'm Mr Popular.

On top, you have Tagged Jorbbees followed by Tagged Jorbbers. At the bottom you will see Jorbbees with similar job interests as you (as you would have defined in the survey or profile).

When you mouse over a Tagged Jorbbee, you will see the latest 5 jobs applied by him/her.



When you mouse over a Tagged Jorbber, you will see the latest 5 jobs posted by him/her.


For Jorbbers, you will see your tagged Jorbbees / Jorbbers and other Jorbbers who have posted similar jobs as you. That way you can compare if you are pricing your job requests at market standards. With tagging, it'll be easy for you to invite previously hired Jorbbees to apply for your job again.


As always, we appreciate all feedback and comments. Do post them here or drop us an email at our Contact Us page.

Cya :)

    It's great that Jorbb's allowing users to make connections as widely as possible. I do wonder about the feature name though... Twitter & Qik calls it following, Jorbb calls it tagging. Tagging might mean too many things, thus adding to confusion. That's my 2-cents. I'll have to do a video chat with you about Jorbb soon... let's whip up an idea storm. :)

    Hi Kevin,

    You are right that we too took a while to decide between Follow A Friend and Tag A Friend. I think given the "playful" nature of the site, we went with Tagging, like the game of Tag.

    Technically, it's a "follow" but not a full blown "follow", since users need to take 1 step more - in mouse over to find out what their jorbbers/jorbbees are doing. Unlike Twitter, seesmic where all movement / updates are displayed automatically in a stream.
