San Francisco -- The parent company of online jobs site Monster.com announced that it has acquired Tickle, the San Francisco-based provider of a social networking service with 18 million members, for $53.9 million in cash and stock. Unlike other social networking sites such as Friendster, Tickle (formerly Emode) offers IQ and personality tests designed to better match users up with friends and potential mates. The company's career assessment tests will be integrated into those offered to job seekers on Monster.com.
