One way to solve your social networking needs is to acquire.

Congrats to James Currier et al.

Mo nster Acquires Tickle, Inc..

Thanks ever so much to Peter Caputa’s, Monster Buys Tickle, who in turn attributes to Rafat Ali’s Paid Content, for the heads up on this announcement—as I was totally distracted by other events in my life today!

According to the Business Wire press release that was also in my newsreader:

Tickle has also proven to be a strong viral marketing engine, as more than 200,000 e-mails from Tickle members are sent each day encouraging others to join.

 ”The acquisition of Tickle brings a powerful new dimension to Monster, contributing proven consumer revenue-generating subscription offerings and unique interactive content that should enhance every site in our network of properties,” said Andrew J. McKelvey, Chairman and CEO of Monster Worldwide. “Tickle’s expertise in career assessment testing, networking and matching, combined with the viral nature of those businesses, dovetails perfectly with Monster’s vast user base. With scientific research at its foundation, Tickle adds yet another layer to Monster’s screening and hiring tools, providing recruiters a window into a candidate’s personality and work preferences that goes beyond past achievements to who they are and their fit within the hiring organization. As part of our long-term strategy, we have been committed to diversifying our revenue streams and to expanding our consumer online services. Tickle is the ideal business to help us achieve these goals.”

 The addition of Tickle’s services will enable job seekers on Monster to access a variety of career assessment tests ranging from “Right Job, Wrong Job” and ” Career Personality” to “Career Interest Inventory” and “The Corporate Culture Test” to learn more about their aptitudes, job skills and career goals. Based on the test findings, job seekers will be able to better determine which job positions are the best fit based on their individual profiles.

While Google has made news for its plans to launch a desktop search tool that would compete with Microsoft's desktop search tool in Longhorn (should, you know, that ever get released), AskJeeves continues to putter away quietly in the background buying up small companies and expanding their own offerings. The latest is that, rather than build up a desktop search offering, they've gone out and bought Tukaroo, a provider of desktop search tools. It will be interesting to see if AskJeeves starts to get more attention, or if they remain quietly in the background.

LookSmart Buys Furl -- The Search
Stickiness Battles Are On 09/23/2004 03:21 AM
Well, look at that. Just yesterday, we were pointing out how Ask Jeeves was adding features to store and annotate the websites you like and asked if people wouldn't just prefer to use an independent offering like Furl, rather than be tied down to a specific search property. Whoops. Forget we said that. Furl has just announced (no news sites have it yet, but we're including the text of the email after the jump) that they've been acquired by Looksmart, the also-ran paid-search, paid-inclusion search engine provider. So, this is yet another search provider trying to increase stickiness by letting users do more with their search results. They're also offering five gigs of storage. If you hadn't realized it yet, this space is getting more interesting every day.
