> Yahoo has a ton of services, a ton of engineers and apps that could do better if they were made better. Does buying Tumblr take away focus from their other services?

Also ugly != functional. > I mean there is a ton of things to do, instead of buying things like Tumblr. Once again, you are assuming the two are exclusive. > Marissa is cute and intelligent , but what's her strategy for Yahoo? What does her attractiveness have to do with anything?
