Layoffspace is a new social networking site for the US-based jobless. In an article in Red Herring, co-founder Jake Ludwinski says: "People who are unemployed are really down on themselves. They have all this time on their hands. What do they do with it? We need a place where we can get them together."
Sounds like a great idea, but will it work? At WebProNews, Doug Caverly says: "given the stigma often associated with being unemployed, users may be hard to attract. The current state of the site -- its forums are pretty much ghost town -- speaks to this problem." However, "lack of users might just be a symptom of its newness."
