From my anecdotal observation and discussion with people who aren't so obsessed with these details, the story has been pretty misinterpreted by the masses though. Everyone was telling me how cool it was that some kid sold up his business for so much money. I was talking to my friend and I kept on having to stop him every time he went down the "some 17 year kid created..." No one else he chatted with about it was clearing the smoke from the mirrors. Small sample, I know. I just don't buy that this was a Yahoo! story so much as a story about some 17 year old who build "some news summary app."
