"To use the app, you simply connect your LinkedIn account to the app and it creates a profile page based on your job history and the job skills that you’ve identified as being proficient in." "New iOS app Jobr hopes to make careers by letting you “Swipe, Chat, & Discover Your Dream Job!” Instead of searching for positions online, sending in resumes, and then waiting for someone to call you back (or not), the app brings together job applicants and hiring managers in more of an informal social network-type environment. Essentially it’s Tinder for jobseekers. The app presents you with roles it thinks you might be interested in. You “like” or “pass” each one, while recruiters get to do the same with candidates. If both of your preferences match up, Jobr makes an introduction and you get to start talking within the app. Currently you can chat directly with hiring managers at Lyft, Twitter, The Boston Consulting Group, Yelp, Houzz, Uber, Homejoy and a few other places" #swiping #tinder_esque #alternatives #jobs #employment_sites #social_networks #web_2.0 #iOS #mobile #unique_spin #startups #funded #job_searching #pub

Another Intuit app. Mainly for Android and iOS though a web app does seem available. A simpler Mint.com it seems. #intuit #alternatives #personal_finance #mobile_apps #iOS #android #web_apps #pub

Sennheiser's competitor to Beats. Came out in late 2012. Started at around $300, but under $150 now in many places in late 2014. #alternatives #beats #headphones #high_end #products #pub

Not as good as Ibotta apparently. You scan your receipts and that's how they see what you purchased. #mobile #apps #iOS #Android #coupons #savings #unique_spin #trendy_look #@Soma #alternatives #pub

A solid alternative to Basecamp Classic. Though it is basically a full on copy. Almost everything is exactly the same. Just a more polished look, which I like, but also more bugs. It also has basic CRM and contacts functionality though. But who knows how long the company will last, and if serious updates will keep coming. So def not worth it for a CRM. #project_management #SaaS #trial #alternatives #Basecamp #collaboration #paid #copycats #javascript #CRM #indie #productivity #pub

Blippex — a search engine made by the people, for the people

From Archify people. It'll fail. But interesting. There were doing data dumps to import into MongoDB in 2013. The fact that it is nearing two years probably means they aren't doing well (or doing too well) #alternatives #ideas #search_engines #Google #unique_spin #pub

_Have to look into this more. Like their pricing calculator: https://cloud.google.com/products/calculator/ and their pricing calculator sort of thing vs AWS: https://cloud.google.com/pricing/tco/_

_Directly competing against AWS it seems. $500 credits for 3 months it seems right now for "new" users._

And now people also also sometimes use Skype and/or Hangouts, but not the same exactly.. Not sure if Hangouts does only audio/voice chatting. If not, then that probably wouldn't be as much of an overlap. And stuff like push to talk is a biggie. Repeatedly muting is probably annoying, lol. #alternatives #voice_chatting #chatting #!TO_TAG #pub
