In my perspective this deal reflects where our society is moving. The importance of having information is surpassed by the ability to have access to all information. Sort of the difference between Monster and Indeed. However, one needs to note that while Indeed does present more opportunities to job seekers, it does not match Monster as a repository of talent (which is important because the recruiters are the ones paying the bills). It may just turn out to be just another acquisition for the books. 

With the same logic Kayak's valuation of $1.32 billion should be more than Expedia's of $7.92 billion.

Great information! Do you think Indeed's structure and functionality will change as well?
