This is nice and all but it's nothing special. Hey look, I made a site too, but I did it for $0, and it took me two weeks as well. It's on the same scale as this. Is my site a startup? No, it's just a fun project.
I would go farther and say that it's quite a bit worse than "nothing special". It's a no-value added filter that sits atop SimplyHired.com. Much like those spam sites that harvest google adwords, its sole purpose is to kidnap traffic.
Recycling the same tired content over and over does nothing but pollute search space. And to your point @bluelu you'd think they would at least bother to configure the site to serve from both site.com and www.site.com but I guess that's too much effort for the ultimately lazy.
"... InternshipIN allows employers to make job posts, while also crawling other job boards, such as SimplyHired, for internship-specific listings ..."
While the site is small you might get away with trawling other sites. Scraping will show up on the logs of other sites & could be blocked. What is another way to get "intern" job ads?
Go to www.quarterlife.com/intern and ask THE INTERN QUEEEN, Lauren Berger. The difference is she has all original internship postings and doesn't use Monster - thank goodness!
However, I do like the simple design, especially the filter options that reflect the interests of the students.
Targeting niche audience might actually get them somewhere.
Digging on the site a little bit deeper, I realize all of the jobs are from big companies. This is hardly helping start-ups or students who want to start one.
Why don't they just build a student entrepreneur networking site? I see a lot more potential in that.
