SUNNYVALE, California -- As expected, the latest job numbers are lousy. America's unemployment rate jumped to 9.8%, the highest in 26 years.

The jobless numbers keep going up, and so do the websites claiming to help you find a job. But for every Facebook, Linked-In, and Twitter user, you'll find someone who wishes the job hunt could be easier. That's where Ingboo.com comes in.

It is a Silicon Valley startup currently living in small quarters, but that has big ideas for making your job search more organized. Step one is to take all of your Web sites and put them in one place.

"Where you sign up for something and you're inundated with email, job postings," said Furkan Khan, Ingboo's Co-Founder. "So, we created a job digest, one daily while you sip your coffee, get your job digest, with all your job postings."

Ingboo's founders agree, social networking is a good way to get your name and skills out there. But it can be exhausting and expensive trying to keep up with all your contacts, videos, and websites.

Ingboo will keep them all, at no cost, sending you emails or tweets when you get a lead.

"If Linked-In is your preferred way to find your next job, you can tie your Linked-In updates, along with job searches," explained Khan.

So, you can get your resume out there, but keep your job search organized.

Another reason the job search is important, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said recently the average job search now runs longer than unemployment benefits.
