Let's say you're Yahoo: You're making a huge effort towards mobile, with no apparent success. You see a small team that built a great product, that fits mobile nicely and that has a huge user base. BTW, You have a lot of money. A 17yr old boy did something that lots of highly skilled engineers, managers, designer couldn't do, and that you pay a lot of money. If you have the chance to acquire a great product with a huge user base, wouldn't you do it (being a company like Yahoo)? -------- That's the same as the Instagram deal. Huge companies are not succeeding in mobile, but they need to do this right and create a mobile presence. If it costs "only" 30m, it's a great deal if you ask me.
