Seems like a sensible acqui-hire. The only surprising thing for me is the amount of attention those small acquisitions by Yahoo get around here.

  probably because both oohaY and inboX are just round the corner from most of us around here.

  $60 million is an acqui-hire?

    After $42M in investment, yeah.

    When Yahoo is on the acquiring end? Yeah. Investors and board members know Yahoo is cash rich and sitting in a talent void. I know of a deal where they paid closed to $4 million a head.

  well Yahoo Mail could use some love so even if it's an acquihire it seems (potentially) focused on making a particular product better.
