Web 2.0 Jobs In Boston, San Jose & New York
September 17, 2008
Last year in January I conducted a search on simplyhired.com for various social media related keywords to determine if Boston is a good place for social media business. I conducted the same search for Boston, New York and San Jose again tonight, after hearing about IBM's new social development center here in Cambridge, MA.
Here are the results for Sept 08.

These results probably tell us more about what terms people use to describe social media. High numbers for web 2.0 in San Jose, no surprise considering all of the software companies in Silicon Valley. However, the high numbers for New York are again a surprise. The good news all of the numbers are up since last year, that’s a nice sign for social media land, especially in this economy.
And the results for Jan 07.
