Job board acquisitions - the list

It feels like job board acquisitions in the US are accelerating. The two primary buyers seem to be Jobing.com and OnTargetJobs.com but other contenders may include Dice, JobServe and Jupiter Media. Kennedy Information has also recently compiled a report entitled Mergers & Aquisition Dynamics for Employment Web Sites which you can purchase by emailing Brian Skinner at bskinner @ kennedyinfo.com.
