I'm working on a business in a similar space, and what got me excited by this news was the natural overlap. It doesn't come off as a talent grab. Rather, there are natural parallels between the two services, and it seems like they're going to explore how they can (yup, I'm gonna say it), synergize, their two respective domains.
Podium (http://hellopodium.com) is the service we're working on. Excited about this space :)
