This is great! It really ties in with the project I recently started: Redefining Unemployment http://www.redefining-unemployment.net/

Basically the concept is that the current economic crisis has given an unprecedented number of people a lot of free time - there are talented, skilled people with good ideas that can connect and create their own opportunities. While we're at it, we can focus on creating companies that have a more sustainable business model and which strengthen our local economies. Anyway, I'm looking forward to connecting more with LaidOffCamp!

I lost my job last December and have never been happier.

Thanks! Posted Motorola Developer Infrastructure Engineer

Hey Everybody. Chris this is a cool site. I got laid off from my interactive web developer/IT position in the beginning of February and I'm still a CSC student but was recently developing CMS solutions in php/MySQL. I really appreciate this community for standing up for each other and I think this a great feat. ATL...

Hi Chris and everyone else. I am a laid off IT guy and am hanging in there taking things day by day. I found this a while back and went for it. http://www.greatcareerplan.com/?smccarthy75
I thought I would share it with you because it has helped me and I am on my way to self sufficiency. Hopefully (with persistence) I will never go through this hell again.

Hola Chris... Soy colombiano estudiante de Ingenieria Informatica hay mucho desempleo en este pais en especial en este sector, me gustaria saber como podria hacer conferencias de este tipo y asi colaborar con tu causa, desde mi pais te felicito por esta labor y mucha suerte.

Loving this idea for sure. Unfortunately, I live in Canada, so it might be sometime before this thing reaches my end.

Wish everyone the best of luck with this, none the less!

Chris and all...

I have been laid off myself in the past, and know how hard it can be. After that last scare, in addition to my accounting job, I started selling Mary Kay part-time...recently I quit my accounting job to to sell Mary Kay full-time. I'm always looking for people to join my team, if anyone is interested. We actually aren't looking for the "sales type." We don't want anyone too pushy. The products sell themselves--they're wonderful! It's great flexibility, only $100 for a starter kit that has over $375 worth of full-size products to help you get started, the earning potential is unlimited, easy to earn prizes, great self-esteem, and my favorite part is making people feel better about themselves! If any of you want to hear more about it, please shoot me an email or give me a call, my info is on my website at: www.marykay.com/kellijoyner

How come when i click on the above listed names it states there is no link or this person may have had access but doesn't now. Where did everyone go?

I am starting a group at my church trying to Link people together who are in need of work with those who need work done. I am starting small but thought this would be a great resource for me to start at. But no one is available to talk with. Maybe I am missing something. Anyone? Help.

Robert: Fixed... Thanks for letting me know!

Received an access denied message when attempting to use the above laidoffcamp SF march 3rd link.

I have an as-yet un-funded startup ( www.wherescool.com ) that is being run by a growing number of entirely unemployed folks contributing time (myself included).

Maybe you could add a board or list of similar ventures that are cash-devoid but still looking for people with downtime to contribute to. Hopefully we can rally around projects like these with the hope of creating some new jobs or at least giving some training in new areas and resume boosters.

If anyone wants a great domain to start their own business, please check out OpenDomain
This is NOT SPAM - we have no ads. We have given great domains away like Drupal.Com or json.com
For example - would anyone like to use 4ny.com for a social community?
Another great example is Liposculpture.com - this keyword brings in $2-3 per click!
I live in the US and am an active blogger - I want to help in anyway

Great idea Jen and Chris! Creativity often prospers most in adversity. And connection makes the strong group, stronger...Intimate, transparent groups, i.e., those who share without an agenda, will benefit all who show up and participate authentically!
