alarm:clock has broke the story: http://www.thealarmclock.com/mt/archives/2007/05/google_negotiat.html

And everyone is reporting on it: http://www.techcrunch.com/2007/05/04/google-in-talks-to-acquire-simplyhired/ http://mashable.com/2007/05/04/google-simplyhired/

However Joshua Jaffe at VC ratings think this is non-sense. Why would the search giant buy search. http://vcratings.thedealblogs.com/2007/05/google_buying_a_vertical_searc.php

I wish I could take sides and call one thing reasonable over other. what you guys think Does it makes sense ?
