Have you considered integrating with LinkedIn as well?

As a complete tangent I'm presently looking for jobs literally on the other side of the world, in a country where I know nobody (so I guess I'm not your target market?). The site used most often there is SEEK. On their own I doubt services like yours would integrate with SEEK or similar smaller international jobs sites. However I'd love to see some kind of social networking standard take off where once you've integrated with say LinkedIn, integrating with someone like SEEK would literally be as simple as swapping a couple of API keys. It'd be even better if the integration could be bidirectional. That is, SEEK could decide to integrate with HMF or vice-versa and whatever features would just "magically" show up on both sites so long as both approved the integration.

Shit, that's kind of like a meta-friend request. "Hey there! My social network wants to be friends with your social network!" Weird.
