Back in DC... For today... Then off again tomorrow morning for another month long excursion, this time, east coast style. We have a Weblogs, Inc./Blogsmith meeting in NYC next week, and then some things to attend to down in Orlando, Fl (go knights). It's great to be home though, if only for a couple of nights. In my head, my apartment was on fire and looted or something completely crazy like that. Not so much, everything was right where I left it. On the floor. Sweet.

Emurse is still doing phenomenal. We're talking to a bunch of different folks both in the search world and in the recruiting world (and we'd like to hear from you, if we haven't yet touched base somehow). We're working on rolling out the premium accounts soon (we're perfectionists...). We have an affiliate program coming together that we'll formalize and announce soon. We have three new templates coming online and a completely new share tab complete with all of the neato features our amazing user community has sent in. We finished a cobranding structure for various requested partnerships the other day as well (contact us if you'd like to get in on it)

All in all, things are on the up. I know we've been quiet on the blog this past week, but, well.. it's for good reasons ;) Stay tuned and we'll get this stuff out as soon as our numb little fingers will let us.

First though, I'm going to enjoy a quality nights rest in my own bed before getting on a plane tomorrow and doing it all again.

Firefox Extension / API:

We're still toying with it, but one of our friends whipped together a quick prototype for us, and well, it's just neat. We'll announce it and make it available over on our blog soon, but we're hoping to get some feedback first. Basically, it allows you to right click on any mailto: link and select "Send Resume via Emurse.com" . It'll then open a new tab with Emurse, where you can log in, then you'll be at the Send tab with the e-mail prefilled out for you.

Any ideas on other ways to improve? We'll slowly be building out an API and dropping little nuggets here and there on how to implement things. It's fun.

Templates:

We're testing some new templates. If you have a resume design you're really itching to see, send it my way (alex at emurse dot com) and I'll see what I can do.

Links:

• C|Net's Top Ten Websites for Students: An 'honorable mention' of sorts for Online Apps. Check #7, which was Google. Underneath you'll see "More Online Apps:" with Emurse listed. A small victory, but personally very satisfying. Our idea is being validated more and more on mainstream levels. If you're a student using emurse, contact me, let's chat.
