Watch out LinkedIn Facebook now lest companies post job listings

While I am not really a candidate for looking for a jobs right now, I have been here at PAconnect for over 35 year at present, but if you are you will have a new place to dig into for your next potential employer. Facebook has initiated support for job listings on company pages in the US and Canada over the next few weeks. With Facebook being the world’s largest social network, it may be a perfect method of getting more eyeballs to your company’s job opportunities.

This is a good addition to most of the nonsense that appears in Facebook today. Hopefully these listing won’t get lost in the online clutter. If it works out for Facebook it could eventually harm Microsoft’s LinkedIn and other services that provide this already.

Amazon files patent for drone deliveries

Amazon is planning on using drones and parachutes for their future deliveries.

CNN reports that the US Patent and Trademark office provided Amazon with a patent that sees the everything giant delivering packages with drones and parachutes. The patent shows Amazon would use drones to delivery packages "at altitude" and "monitor and adjust package trajectory during descent". CNN reports that Amazon's drones could "radio a message to an off-course package, instructing it to deploy a parachute, compressed air canister or landing flap".

So, for now, drones still need a human at the flight stick but Amazon hopes to be in the lead with automating delivery in the very near future.
