As James Brown once said, this is this is this is a maaaaan’s world. The evidence is clear. Tom Selleck. Lemmy. Lando Calrisien. Windsor Davis. What common quality did all of these fine, upstanding gentlmen share?

That’s right; the soup strainer. The cookie duster. The Mo.

This year, the gauntlet has been laid down for the men of Blackbridge to participate in the charity fund-raiser known as Mo-vember.

The rules are simple. Grow a ‘tache. That’s it. No running, climbing, sitting in a bath of beans or any of the usual charity tomfoolery. If anything, Mo-vember will SAVE us all valuable minutes in the morning as the razor is cast aside for a month and our top lips are allowed to grow wild and free.

So, the rules are simple. But the cause is good - The Prostate Cancer Charity (www.prostate-cancer.org.uk).

Discussions abound regarding which style to rock - i myself am still undecided. I’m picturing myself as James Hetfield circa ‘Ride the Lightning’ era Metallica, but we shall see. Rock behomoth, or camper-than-christmas Mercury-alike. Only the Mo can decide…

if any of our blog-reading friends would care to donate to this worthy cause, you can do so right here.

Expect regular updates on the progress of Mo-bridge on this very blog…

I have to say, this thread is pure genius. Conclusive proof that, without a good PR, you’re stuffed!

Splendid article on Cheezhead today about the most random jobboard - Jobfloat. Aside from a damning rant about the copywriting, there’s some brilliant semantic fun to be had with the authors - Web Funters. Have a read of it here

Brightfuse, CareerBuilder’s experimental project, has been quietly gaining ground in the business networking community. A business-oriented social networking site launched back in February 2008 has accumulated a following of around 75,000 members.Working around the premise that referral recruitment grows in popularity in credit-crunched times, it seems that Careerbuilder is investing in the networking premise to support their further work in resourcing. Compared to LinkedIn’s 27 million members, CareerBuilder’s got a way to go, but argues that it’s going for a very different demographic - senior employees with six-figure salaries. We at BB (and our clients) always like to be in on these things whilst they’re still in they’re beta/alpha/never heard of it phases and, so far, Brightfuse hasn’t really promoted itself heavily, relying on steady evolution. So, whilst it’s still very very transatlantic, it’s well worth becoming an early adopter, if only because it’s so quick and easy.
