Do things like Tumblr and Skype count?
Where a legacy Internet behemoth mistakenly clicks "Buy It Now" on a startup for eleventy billion dollars during some drug-and-drink fueled bender and then wakes up the next day and offloads it to some rando on Twitter for whatever they have lying around in their PayPal balance.

- kingcharles 5y agoYes, I forgot about Delicious. Yahoo destroyed both of those companies. Unbelievably all the Delicious data is still available. Delicious was one of the only accounts I could log into after eight years in jail. It was amazing to see that 99% of my bookmarks were dead links.
