Paper Cuts – covering layoffs and buyouts at U.S. newspapers.
Here is a clever website called Paper Cuts. Set up by Erica Smith, one can see a lot of work has gone into this website. Erica tracks job losses, layoffs, and buyouts in the Media or Newspaper industry. As you can see by her Google Map, a lot of jobs have been lost in this sector.
How to avoid words like recession, credit crunch or job cuts?
There is a great new website called Recession Blocker. If you are tired of reading websites that publish bad news, recession news, job losses, credit crunch, doom and gloom, then load up Recession Blocker and type in your favourite news website (e.g. http://www.crunchvictims.com) and hit GO.
It’s so darn clever. I used my website as an example and already feel so much happier. It simply blocks the following banned words.
Other cool websites related to Crunch Victims.
In all this doom and gloom and lets face it, there is a lot of it going around at the moment across the world. It is quite refreshing to see a few good websites popping up on the Internet to cover the recession, the financial woes, the bad news from the past few months, present and future.
We are targeting the grim reality of job losses, layoffs, companies going into adminstration / company insolvency and how the recession is biting everyone in the bum.
Here is rough guide what other websites are doing and what they are covering. If you have a website related to the above and want to feature on CrunchVictims.com then drop me an email crunchvictims@gmail.com.
