While this was a good bit too "name-droppy" for my taste, it's an interesting story of decision-regret and a decent chronicle of a founder's view post acquisition. At the time, the decision to sell seemed right, and it would've been difficult to predict it would be so poorly managed by Yahoo! Along the way.

However, I've thought about this space a bit (the idea-space, not the solution-space), and I've always come to the conclusion it's too fragmented. Too many things to too many different players. But if the field is wide open again, better to invite someone into the opportunity than dwell on the past.
