    When has a consolidation of similar companies ever benefited the end user? I can't seem to recall a single instance.

    For example, when oDesk merged with Elance, nothing good came from it. Except confusion, and higher rates for the workers.

      You're probably right. However, imagine if (and it's a big if) the new technology used the best parts of all the sites and now you have 5 different sites' users all combined. Isn't it better from a dating perspective to have everyone available to you for the best match possible? Sorry I'm not being very convincing here but I think you get my point.
