How many of these sorts of acquisitions by yahoo have resulted in anything other than destruction of the value of the service?
Geocities was the tumblr of its day.
Buying a shiny popular thing without reasonable and specific plans, getting bored with it, and then shutting it down or just letting it languish is not a good use of capital.
- bayouborne 13y agoI think it's good that Yahoo's trying to diversify. The problem, is that Yahoo! is like that destructive little girl w/braces in 'Finding Nemo', benign neglect (Flickr) to worse (Delicious) typically await the quality properties they acquire. Can't they fixate on something else instead of sites I care about, please? Marissa, there's a wonderful property called Experts Exchange - it gets a very high buy recommendation from me. There's also Ask.com - both great websites and perfect complements to Yahoo's growing stable of excellence.. Just please, leave Tumblr alone. Let it live.
