A recent CNN Money story entitled Monster of a deal for Google speculates that the search giant might gobble up the job board.

My personal opinion is this has zero credibility, but don’t take my word for it.

Here are a few select comments from those much smarter than myself:

"Would Google want to get into this business so directly? Well, perhaps … but really, honestly, this feels totally out of character."
- John Battelle, Google and Monster: A Dumb Idea

"It’s certainly not outside the realms of reality but, as Google has
already shown they like the strategy of buying just a stake in a large
company (a la AOL), it wouldn’t make much sense to buy Monster outright and eat-up a large chunk of their war chest."
- Andy Beal, Should Google Acquire Monster.com?

"… I think a clean slate without the
baggage is a better model [for Google]. Monster had such a great reputation early in
this niche and screwed it up."
