Hub Pages for Job Seekers?

I've written before about the value of blogging for executive job seekers. I think that a blog gives you an excellent way to demonstrate your expertise and build your brand online. But blogs are limited in so many ways, so I'm interested to learn more about Hubpages, a new tool about to enter Beta. According to the founders:

Here at Hubpages we want everyone to share their passion to benefit others. Whether it be traveling right, tweaking your engine, or finding the ultimate deal, we let you share your genius with the world and enjoy the expert advice of others.

Just pick a topic and use our simple publishing tools to create a great looking website with rich functionality. Hubpages takes it from there. The site is designed to continually sort out the most useful pages, helping to build traffic and revenue for our highest quality authors.

Yes revenue! Although knowledge is its own reward, we thought you might also like cold hard cash. So, if your readers generate revenue by clicking on an ad, buying a product or generating a lead, you will earn a share of the profits.

Revenue is nice of course, but I think it's much less important than the opportunities a tools like this one and Squidoo give individuals to build their own personal brand online.
