Its not the governments jobcentreplus website, its www.jobcentreproplus.com (note the pro). Its "a clean rewrite of the Job Centre Plus government website, allowing job seekers to quickly and easily find jobs by keyword within their local area, and subscribe to email alerts to future additions." The site was a good example of why we should have free access to postcode data. I came across a link to a presentation they gave at rewirdedstate.org"national hack the government day" - http://blip.tv/file/1853120/ I wonder if Royal Mail would go after councils and government departments who have failed to pay or keep up with their subscriptions. Its probably not a good idea to send threatening letters to bodies who could successfully lobby for things to be changed. Hopefully this might result in some advertising for free-the-postcode, and its aims Jason
