My sources tell me that this is just spin put out by some to pop the stock price. The future is with job aggregators and speciality niche markets – not the Big 3

No idea if this is true or not, so I’m not saying “annoymous” is wrong, but you could launch more niche job sites than you could handle with the weight that the Big 3 bring. I’m not sure any of them would do that, but it wouldn’t take long to be successful in niche if that’s the way the market moved. (Whether they’d be nimble enough or have the foresight to move that way would be a completely different story. It’s not like they’re all well-oiled machines running on all cylinders.)
