Business software need not be ugly or clumsy. In fact, software for a job like recruiting is going to be used by people who only spend a few hours a month hiring people. For them, the process of reviewing applicants or taking in interview notes is a side job. Something they cannot afford to be trained for separately or do day-after-day, often enough to become experts with a complex tool.

I can almost hear the champagne bottles being opened at Jobs2Web , the career-site-cum-seo startup on the other side of Minneapolis from us. Like a Jared Allen blitz, they just plowed through a host of suitors before finally selling themselves for a cool $110 million to SuccessFactors, itself a recent and fortunate $3 billion acquisition by SAP.

The wallets of millions of Americans might be slimmer these days, but their waistlines certainly aren’t. What can we do about it, and what should we do about it? Can we pass new laws? Should we not hire - or fire – someone who is fat because they might require more health care? Is it the role of government and employers to educate – or legislate – around health issues?
