Modern Telecommuter is a site I’ve been developing for a while. The whole idea for the site came about as I was surfing Craigslist for telecommuting jobs. I considered it a bit frustrating that I had to search each separate locale.
Telecommuting jobs, for the most part, do not require living in any particular area. Therefore, it should be an improvement to have them all in one place, sorted only by category.
So, each night, the RSS feed for telecommuting jobs is downloaded and parsed into MySQL. Sitemaps are automatically generated for each category and the new listings posted to the site’s Twitter page.
Of course, to contact the original job poster requires a trip directly to Craigslist, and each listing contains the link necessary for that.
