- andirk 3y agoProbably! It was literally putting radio broadcasts on the internet. Tuning in to a radio frequency of a sporting event far away was avant garde and wanted by many. No idea why Yahoo needed to buy someone's janky website with an idea I just explained in 1 sentence, but yeah Yahoo managed to tank it from several billions of $ down to nothing in about a year. Coulda been the first music streaming service. I hope someone has the minutes to those Yahoo board meetings and makes a cartoon out of it.
