Employers can submit listings now. "I'm working on compiling the listings now so the board launches with open jobs," co-creator Matt Shampine said. 

There are a few email newsletters that include job listings, such as NYCStartup Digest, and Stack Exchange and 37signals both have job seeker-friendly listings--but this is the first site dedicated to a "curated" list of jobs in New York City.

We Are NY Tech has become somewhat of an institution with the endorsement of Fred Wilson. It's also hosting an inaugural party tonight, sponsored by Bing, for the first 150 people who were featured on the site.

Summery/summary news from New York's start-up scene.

OYSTER REVIVAL. Oyster.com, the start-up that flamed out after its model of sending reviewers to photograph and secret shop hotels one-by-one proved hellishly expensive and unscalable AND THEN recently bounced back with new funding and partnership with the Travel Channel, has launched the "first-ever photo-powered hotel search engine." Oyster Shots "is a seamless way to explore Oyster.com's quickly growing database of exclusive, high-resolution, undoctored photos of vacation destinations around the world."

INAUGURAL EAST VILLAGE TECH MEETUP: Betabeat runs into founders and techies in the East Village on the regular and it's arguably the neighborhood with the richest Foursquare data, so we're surprised that this never existed before. So no surprised that 71 techies have RSVP'ed. Little worried about the capacity at d.b.a., where the meetup is happening Thursday at 6 p.m., though.

SOUNDS ROMANTIC. Entrepreneur Week, Startup One Stop and ER Accelerator are hosting a "Find a Cofounder Event" and networking party on a "4,000 sq ft private terrace overlooking the Hudson River" July 12th.

MUSIC MANAGEMENT. Fanbridge released a "micro-targeting advertising suite" for bands to selectively target viewers with ads. "During a pilot of the new suite, FanBridge captured a projected return on a $1,000 investment yielding approximately 25,000 combined interactions (song plays, clicks, call-to-action responses, emails collected, etc.)," a rep wrote in an email.

WE ARE NY TECH PARTY. We Are NY Tech is having a party for its first 150 profile subjects on July 7, sponsored by Bing, on the roof of WeWork Midtown.

SMALLER PLATFORMS. GroupMe launched recently demoed a Windows Mobile app, to be released "soon," at which point Steve Ballmer and Paris Hilton can chat again.

We Are NY Tech, the blog that has featured a profile of someone in the New York tech scene every day since November 13 and which was praised as "democratic, wonderful to look at and read, and is exactly the kind of service we need in NYC" by Fred Wilson, just hit 2,000 followers on Twitter.

More than 150 New Yorkers have been featured so far on the site, designed by the creative WeWork-based shop Simande and managed by founder Matt Shampine, who still writes the questions, picks the subjects and posts them to the site. (Note: He objected when we tried to give him credit. "It was a team effort to put it together," he said.)

The profiles are just the beginning. We Are NY Tech is also hosting a panel about the local tech industry for Internet Week and putting together a "highly-curated" job board that will launch in the next few weeks, Mr. Shampine told Betabeat.

Answer: Not at all. Q & A sites are a kind of social network and a solution to problems with the Google's decreasingly-useful search engine. It's a crowded space—Tech Observer has receivered press releases this week from Ask.com, ChaCha and Answers.com, the last of which is relaunching soon.

Joel Spolsky of Stack Overflow, the popular Q & A site for programmers, had some insight in hisinterview on We Are NY Tech this morning.

Spolsky also created Stack Exchange, a network of Q & A communities built around specific topics, like photography, cooking, gaming.

Any topic for which there is a scholarly journal merits a Q & A site, he said, pegging that number at between 20,000 and 40,000. "You need a minimum number of participants studying the same thing (400-500) which is about the same number as it takes to sustain a journal," he said.

The Q & A site Quora recently exploded, spreading from the earliest early adopters and taking hold with secondary early adopters (crucial group!) after being reviewed by tech blogger Robert Scoble, who gushed its praises. Two weeks later, the hype is still going.

Quora's innovation was to make answers not crap by requiring users to authenticate their names with Twitter or Facebook and having editors police content.

Spolsky's sites, due to their niche appeal, also filter out most of the Internet's trolls.

And if this whole Q&A thing doesn't pan out, Spolsky has a backup plan. "There isn't a single espresso shop on the Upper West Side that knows how to steam milk for lattes properly. I think at Starbucks they just put their face in the milk and blow bubbles," he said.

"I would open a cafe called the No Laptop Cafe. Hipsters pretending to write novels while they mull for six hours over one cup of brewed coffee would be banned. Instead, we would have real newspapers and folk singers."
