We look forward to hearing from you! =============================================== Try www.WhenUShop.com, the FREE tool that saves you time and money when you shop the web. Life is easier when you WhenU! =============================================== Detailed Company Description: WhenU.com simplifies web browsing. The company’s software resides on the desktop, recognizes the web site visited by a user, and delivers site-specific and category-specific content and services through a thin vertical window adjacent to the browser. For online activities such as shopping, travel, searching, research, investing, etc., WhenU.com captures the best of the web and packages, formats and delivers it straight to the user in a manner that requires no user effort. With its technology, proprietary content and resonant brand identity, WhenU.com will become the standard navigation enabler relied upon by Internet users as they undertake common online activities. WhenUShop, the first product launched by WhenU.com, simplifies the online shopping experience dramatically. Whenever a user visits a major retail shopping site, WhenUShop recognizes the site and launches as a thin vertical window on the left side of the browser. Highly relevant -- yet often hard to find -- information about the site is presented in a standardized format: Contact information and response times, shipping rates, tax charges, return policies, gift wrapping, site-specific rebates and coupons, credit card security, privacy policy and more. Users are introduced to price comparison engines, online currencies, and other services and educated about how to use them. WhenUShop streamlines the online shopping experience in a quick, efficient, non-intrusive and convenient manner, saving consumers money and time. WhenU.com’s unique approach combines three powerful concepts to create a very compelling product for users: (1) Information Delivered When The User Needs It WhenU.com delivers information to users precisely when they need it, instead of requiring users to seek information. WhenU.com leverages the work of a full time staff of expert researchers over its entire user base, and ensures that the relevant set of facts is right at the user’s fingertips -- without requiring the user to do anything. (2) Standardized Formats Lack of standardization on the Internet creates considerable stress for users. WhenU.com standardizes the delivery of information relevant to the site being visited -- making it easy for users to navigate. (3) Activity-based brand WhenU.com creates a brand directly associated with common online activities and experiences, as activity-based categorization resonates most with the way people make decisions and prioritize information. The company takes advantage of this through its possession of over one hundred domain names in the WhenU and WhenYou space, including WhenUShop, WhenUTravel, WhenUInvest, etc. From ben at kandidates.com Thu Jan 25 20:09:18 2001 From: ben at kandidates.com (Ben Holden) Date: Thu Aug 5 00:31:04 2004 Subject: [nyc-perl-jobs] 2 Junior Programmers [Recruiter] Message-ID: <200101260239.VAA21973@happyfunball.pm.org> My client is in search of 2 junior programmers with the following qualifications: 1) Required: -a 4 year computer science or engineering degree -strong academics 3.3 GPA or higher -Knowledge of C/C++ or Perl programming in a Unix environment Desired: -Strong knowledge of Database and Operating Systems concepts -Strong data structures and algorithms knowledge -Knowledge of Unix system concepts is a plus 2) The second junior programmer we are looking for is more analytical.
