One positive of being unemployed is I have smoked an awful lot of cigars!

Course I have no money to buy replacements.

I've seen periodic references to LinkedIn. What is it?

An online networking site. Think Facebook for professionals.

+1, pretty good networking site, with access to a lot of professional/job-related forums & other tools. Could be especially helpful in connecting with colleagues or other contacts in a job search

Did everyone find a job?

Word of advice-use facebook and linkedin as a tool for finding contact names in hiring roles. It's a good way to at least get someone to speak to in order to get your resume to the hiring manager rather than just trusting the HR submission route.
