Yahoo just paid $30mm for an unknown technology and a fresh face to parade around, they would appreciate it if you didn't start poking holes in the narrative.

Yahoo just paid $30mm for an unknown technology and a fresh face to parade around, they would appreciate it if you didn't start poking holes in the narrative.
Thank you
- huhtenberg 14y agoActually it now looks more and more like some sort of elaborate kick-back scheme for the investors. "Your YHOO stock has sunk below the waterline, so here's something to sweeten the pot."
- tixocloud 14y agoI actually think this kinda makes sense. That or relationship building with the investors. Plus, Yahoo! hasn't been making any new waves for quite a while. They needed to make something happen somehow to get people excited. The founder might be brilliant and I could be wrong about this whole relationship building with investors to try and get attraction nonsense.
- corresation 14y agoPlus, Yahoo! hasn't been making any new waves for quite a while. They've been making tonnes of Marissa Mayer waves. They're the New York Jets of technology.
- gesman 14y agoHighly likely. The crowd sees only the tip of the iceberg and knows only what it allowed to know when it allowed to know.
- granitepail 14y agoSo you're assuming they didn't do their due diligence? That they threw $30MM at a company they knew nothing about? Has anyone in this thread gone so far as to even try the product?
- rhizome 14y agoI think the idea is that they threw $30MM at a company they knew a lot about, due to the investors behind it.
