Founded in 1995, Viator features more than 20,000 bookable tours and attractions and more than 600,000 reviews, photos and videos submitted by travelers. "Online and mobile bookings for attractions and activities represents a huge opportunity for our business," said Stephen Kaufer, the president and CEO of TripAdvisor. Viator has more than 250 employees who will continue to work at the company's headquarters in San Francisco and offices in Las Vegas, London and Sydney. In May, TripAdvisor acquired lafourchette, a Paris-based online restaurant booking platform, and earlier this year acquired Tripbod, a travel community that helps connect travelers to local experts. http://www.viator.com/ http://www.tripadvisor.com/PressCenter-i6878-c1-Press_Releases.html _____________________________________________ o Zillow in Advanced Talks to Acquire Trulia for Up to $2 Billion San Francisco -- Zillow, the Seattle-based operator of the nation's most visited real estate website, could pay as much as $2 billion in cash and stock to acquire San Francisco-based challenger Trulia, Bloomberg reported.

The organization said the proportion of IT jobs created by the tech sector through 2018 is projected to stall or decline, while non-tech industries -- like manufacturing, automotive, healthcare and retail -- will realize large net gains in IT jobs created. That means that the bulk of the hiring won't occur in traditional IT hubs like California, Washington, Texas, and New York, but rather emerging IT cities such as Phoenix, Denver, Atlanta, Philadelphia and Oklahoma City. "The speed of change and hyper-specialization of skills in the IT workforce is creating competitive disruption," said Jean Martin, executive director of CEB. "We need to start thinking beyond Silicon Valley when searching for qualified IT workers." http://news.executiveboard.com/2014-07-22-US-IT-Job-Creation-Growing-Fastest-In-Non-Traditional-Sectors-And-Geographies _____________________________________________ |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| 5th Annual Billington Cybersecurity Summit - Sept. 16, 2014 - use discount code "TECHWIRE" Hear from top cybersecurity officials, companies and investors at this must-attend annual event now in its fifth year.
