"When are you most likely to vent about your employer?  Well, for some jobs, maybe every day as soon as you leave the place, but for a lot of people lately, probably right after they become the latest victim of a layoff.  Telonu, a site that lets people anonymously review their employers, is looking to capitalize on this trend with a section specifically for the laid off: Layoff Talk.\nTo tell your story, simply head over to the new \u201Clayoff central\u201D section and find your ex-employer to add your take on the layoff.  Or, just write a new story and fill in the blanks.  Telonu is completely anonymous, though it does ask what your relationship was with the company.   \nToday, the service added a widget so you can display the service\u2019s layoff counts on your own website or blog, though, personally, I\u2019d be more inclined to click some of the compelling headlines associated with layoff stories, like \u201CReplaced by a College Student\u201D or \u201CLaid Off in the Cafeteria.\u201D\n\n\n\n\nTracking layoffs in and of itself seems a bit morbid, but there is certainly a need right now for people to vent, and the anonymity of Telonu provides a good outlet for it.  On the other hand though, it\u2019s hard to read much into anonymous reports, given there are so many sour grapes when it comes to being let go from an employer.  \nWe also wonder about the site\u2019s chances of attracting advertisers, or if it will meet the same fate as the popular but un-monetizable anonymous gossip site, JuicyCampus, which was forced to shutdown earlier this month.\nMeanwhile, if you are currently looking for work, check out some of our fantastic resources below.\nJob Hunting Resources from Mashable\n\n- 30+ Websites to Visit When You\u2019re Laid Off\n- CAREER TOOLBOX: 100+ Places to Find Jobs\n- 18 Sites for Finding Startup Jobs\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
