It was only 6 weeks ago that PBL's MyHome was making a lot of cliams in the real estate space & as I'm sure you all know by now they are ceasing operations at the end of May. MyHome burnt $20 million & even with the backing/ownership of PBL & Microsoft & all the cross promotional exposure they got on the Nine network couldn't make it work. The reason being that they were in 4th place behind Realestate.com.au - domain.com.au & HomeHound.com.au - no traction & advertisers didn't see the need to expand their spend to a 4th site. If JobsJobsJobs believe that they are going to overtake the entrenched major players of Seek - CareerOne & MyCareer they are dillusional & I'm sure that within the next 6 months they will find out that investors don't put good money after bad. the moral of the story is that if Packer's PBL with all their might can't make an online business work no-one can. It's time to leave JJJ & I dare say shortly afterwards JobX.
