Facebook now worth less than what Microsoft offered for Yahoo in 2008
- cfinke 14y agoWhy is that significant? Is there going to be a story every time the stock price changes about which historical company Facebook is now worth more or less than?
- diego 14y agoIt isn't. Techcrunch just needs to keep their homepage moving and it must be a slow morning.
- Splognosticus 14y agoProbably. It's the "if it bleeds it leads" mentality. What I wonder is if their user base will assume the company's doomed due to all the news about their stock price and move their stuff to Google+ or whatever the next Myspace clone is gonna be.
- neya 14y agoMaybe because they are valued less than Yahoo, which is a bad state for a company like Facebook to be in? Especially when they opened up with so much hype surrounding them..
- r00fus 14y agoThey aren't worth less than yahoo, they're worth 2x as much ($42B vs $19B) as of the current moment. Yahoo is worth much less now than Microsoft offered for them in 2008, so this comparison is just your average TC troll title.
