Ex-Yahoo Ryan Kuder started The Purple People Collective as a resource for newly laid-off Yahoos (and any other tech workers) looking to band together and find freelance work. The site, which launched last month, now has 100 listings including a few from ex-Yahoo potential acquirer, Microsoft.
Kuder says that the site, built over one weekend by the Koombea dev team, has grown 100% from, “word of mouth, blogs, Facebook sharing and Twitters — all people helping their friends find jobs.” It probably doesn’t hurt that it’s completely free to list a job or create a profile, and that the launch was timed with the most recent round of Yahoo layoffs.
