If an HR department from a company uses it as a marketing tool, I think it will be very useful. It really is not a big deal as far as I'm concerned for that information to be shared. I do wonder though about non disclosure with employees for certain employment profiles. My concern was about those cases.
The more legitimate the information, of course the more value to all who use/share the info.
My other point was that in some cases, anonymous info does not lend itself to credibility. Perhaps this type of information is not discredited by anonymized postings.

Is it that big of a deal for a company to share that information? maybe they can use it as marketing. The H.R. department for Google goes to Glassdoor and puts some numbers in - then there's no doubt about its legitimacy.

Anonymous posting often equals bogus. If you based an employment step on the good authority of a site like this, and found out that the range is not actually 80 to 150K (which I have no reason to doubt, by the way) and found out that it is actually 40 to 60K. who's fault is it that the information was bogus? Was it the glassdoor site, or the bogus anonymizer of the info?
Is it possible that the information is correct and accurate? Certainly. And in concept it could prove to be a great resource, but my experience is that disclosure of non-disclosure type items of information such as this may be frowned upon.
Thus the catch 22. We cannot be expected to disclose our identity when disclosing non-disclosure agreement items which could expose us to sanctions.
Perhaps the company HR department of the company referenced could lend some credibility to the content, but it is a complicated workflow especially when an employee may be posting the commentary anonymously.
Enterprise 2.0 SNAD attack coming on!

I hope it doesn't auto destructs if suddenly users put bogus information. And since it's a "I'll show mine, if you show yours" scheme, people could just put whatever they want to go see the information. I haven't seen if there's any type of authentication, but then that would create some issues regarding privacy.
This is good example of social networking in enterprise 2.0 but I wonder if there's a limit for exchanging information between companies without interfering with the confidentiality agreement.

Glassdoor seems to be the doing the airwaves today. I would view this as Enterprise Social Networking where the behavior and tendencies are mirroring what the average enterprise employee is craving - a better job, a sneaky suspicion that he/she is worth more than the current employer is crediting him/her, a "true" view of potential employers and an efficient way of lining up a dream job. Another company that comes to mind in an adjacent market is NotchUp.com which puts a price on every interview i.e. interviewee gets paid for interviewing, and logs the interview feedback which other companies can view as well. I am not sure how successful the company is but the very first day it opened shop they were inundated with resume postings !! I would expect to see more of the enterprise social networking startups start to take root to cater to this under served community Ashwin

If you’re a slightly gray, mid-level manager who travels a lot, you may be on the way up and worthy of professional respect, but one thing you most definitely are not is “cool.” Still, while today’s youth may think you just crawled out of a paleolithic cave, there may be hope. The iPad from Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL) (supreme arbiter of coolness) just might make you older guys (or actually old guys like me) cool.
As we well know, the online echo chamber and its increasingly viral and social components can magnify the propagation speed and distribution of stories and rumors, whether true or false.
A remarkable event in world affairs is taking place this week in London, as the first One Young World conference is set to convene.
In his recent Congressional testimony, Dennis Blair, the U.S. director of national intelligence, stated that the U.S. is "severely threatened" by cyber attacks and that the recent Google (Nasdaq: GOOG) attacks should serve as a wake-up call.
Fatal System Error, the book just released by West-coast-based journalist Joseph Menn, is really a public policy statement written as a thriller for a wider reading public. UPDATED 2:45 PM
