STOP the Panic Taskforce (AEDP ...

Great entrepreneurs build value and market-share in down markets. They go to work seven days a week and they breakout when other folks check out. — Jason Calacanis (http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/10/11/during-tough-times-the-echo-chamber...)

We can't ignore the crisis, but we shouldn't panic. I guess all members in this project agree with this point.
In the past few days I've heard of a couple of layoffs at startups, especially in the US. A friend of mine is also affected. But I also know of startups that are still hiring, despite all the negative news and forecasts!

So, please start helping and contributing by noting down anything you know about where there have been layoffs and where you know there are open positions. Maybe we can help make a match.
