New cool feature in Blogger (Blogspot) for blogrolling

I just noticed this new cool feature in Google's Blogger (a.k.a. Blogspot) today, which is called the Blog List. Now you can see this new thing in the side bar of my blog too, under the Blogrolls section.

Apparently it is an enhanced version of the existing Link List feature, able to show more details about the linked item, including the title of most recent article, date of last update, snippet of the most recent article, blog icon, etc. You can sort the listing alphabetically or based on most recently updated status.

The Blog List works well for any page that has an RSS or Atom feed, so we can get creative to link to blogs, news sites, podcasts, Twitter streams, search results, or anything else with a feed. It is also able to import subscriptions from Google Reader.

Pretty cool isn't it?

Changing Jobs in 2008: It Pays to be Gray

ExecuNet, an interactive membership organization for effective career management, has just released their exclusive 16th Annual Executive Job Market Intelligence Report.

Innovation, agility and execution are the key watchwords for both the employee and employer. For year 2008, a growth of above 10% within the executive employment market is still expected by search firm and corporate human resource professionals, albeit at a slower pace with quite a lot of uncertainty.

Among the predicted high-growth industries for the year are:

• High Tech + Defense/Aerospace
• Healthcare
• Business Services
• Pharmaceutical/Medical/Biotech
• Energy/Utilities
  

Executives of all ages expect large increases in their pay if they change jobs this year. Overall, executive pay is expected to increase by 6.2% in 2008. But average pay increases for executives who change jobs are expected to increase by well over 10%, regardless of the executive's age or experience.
