You think Yahoo would release Yahoo Oil Messenger (tm)?
- meric 10y agoI have no idea what harbourmasters and oil traders do. But pretend harbourmasters look at maps and use the radio a lot, and oil traders like to look at positions of oil tankers, and charts of oil futures prices, a Yahoo Oil Messenger that lets users embed maps with positions of ships, charts of commodity prices within the conversation itself, view log of recorded radio transmissions, might be very useful. If Slack is worth $3.8 billion, I'd say a Yahoo Oil Messenger could be a billion dollar business, building an industry specific communications product. It's like Yahoo had all these tenements for the past decade and it's only when the tenements are expiring they finally found out there's bonanza of gold beneath, but it's way too late to do anything about it. With the new Yahoo chat product, it's like they registered some tenements next to their present ones and say something like "hey we got something nearby so it'll be alright."
