Do you hate job boards Is LinkedIn a threat to job boards

Do you hate job boards Is LinkedIn a threat to job boards Great post on RecruitingBlogs about job boards vs. LinkedIn: What kind of a threat does LinkedIn pose to job boards? And what should they do about it? Not social networking, mind you.  Its really just LinkedIn thats the sole competitor to job boards which was a HUGE industry. If you are interested in the job search space (whether you are in a job search or not), check out the article Ive already sent some of my advice and ideas to Monster.  Didnt get very far. My kind-of dream job?  To work as a VP at Monster, and be the job seeker advocate.  Theyve had someone at corporate advocate hiring companies (who paid them gobs of money) and recruiters (who paid them gobs of money), but no one advocated for the job seeker (who really doesnt pay much, right?). Well, along comes LinkedIn (or, shall we say CHANGE), and Monsters model isnt working anymore.  HR, recruiters and those who put money in hiring is moving their money elsewhere. And, LinkedIn was able to  accommodate  the job seeker (and non-job seeking professional) in a way that Monster didnt think about.  So they lost job seekers, too (I dont have stats on this, just a guess). Ive spoken to thousands of professionals around the country they talk about getting on two websites.  LinkedIn is one.  Monster is NOT the other one. What do you think?  Is there a place for job boards?  Will they be replaced by something else?
